Swomped!!

Hello! I have been so busy this week with assignment one and preparation for going into school next week that I almost forgot to write my blog!!! Can't have that though, so here we go...

I was sick last weekend and beginning of the week, so unfortunatly I missed the ICT session this week. I have had a quick read of what I have missed, but will have to go through it properly when I have a spare minute - Christmas maybe!! Looks like I missed Spreadsheets, which isn't too bad for me as I used them a lot in my last job, but I need to check that there wasn't anything specific that I don't yet know.

This week has been manic as always... the deadline for assignment one is getting closer so I've been using ICT in my final researching - webcat, online journals and search engines and hyperlinks from online articles. I'm also using it to start writing, which so far is my plan, which is on 2 pages, so it's quite detailed now. I am really confident in using Word 2000, I even have a proficiency formal exam in it from my last job, however my nice new laptop came with Office 2007 and stupidly I thought this was a good thing!! It is horribly different from Word 2000 and takes me 15 minutes to find anything! I am still searching for Wordcount, a vital tool for my essay, but nowhere in sight, why couldn't they have left it alone, haven't they heard the saying, 'don't fix what ain't broken'!!!

I did rather excitingly download an audio and visual codec, I've never heard of the things before and am not entirely sure what they are, but I still managed to download them and was rather proud of myself for doing it!!

Well I am now back to finish the plan for my assignment and hopefully find out that I can start writing it now, I like to wait until I have pretty much all my research usually, but I'm a bit swomped with research and need to sort it so it is relevant and sensical before I see if I have any gaps. The problem with this one is you could go on researching forever.... Tara!
