High Adventure Activity

Today was kind of boring, until we got to make charts out of our data. I haven't played with the design to much on making charts so it was cool to see how to make the chart look like I want it to.

I don't have any frustrations. Everything is crystal clear.

If money wasn't an issue, I would go to Africa and climb Mt. Kilamanjaro. While in Africa, I would head to S. Africa and hunt the Big 5: lions, leopards, cape buffalo, elephants, and rhinos. Yeah, that would be pretty high adventure.

Biggest Difference

The crater with the biggest difference in diameter is object 36 with a difference of 8592.8 meters.

I don't have any questions or frustrations.

As far as my favorite breakfast food goes, it would have to be cinnamon french toast. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm nothing better than some french toast with a hint of cinnamon. Now I am really hungry. Maybe I will have some french toast when I get home, for dinner.

Excellerator

Today we learned some basic functions of excel. I have used excel quite a bit in my internet marketing job. However, there are still a lot more I would like to learn because I know excel is very powerful. Hopefully I will learn something new and cool about excel in this class.

I don't have any frustrations. I will have some if we don't learn a lot about excel though! (I'm just kidding....kinda)

So, musical instruments I play eh? Well I might need to make a bullet list out of this one:

(In order of skill, best to worst)

* Piano
* Organ
* Guitar
* Trumpet
* Drums (set)
* Harmonica
* I also play a pretty mean guitar on GuitarHero. Click Here to see the Video!!

There might be more but I'm late for my next class.

Adobe Acrobat

Well, that was really cool. I didn't know that adobe acrobat pro was so powerful. It will be fun to play around with it and make my paper look pretty.

I don't have any frustrations, that was a good lecture.

As far as a crazy relative goes, I do have an uncle that is missing most of his teeth and tells pretty crazy/awesome stories. He's a truck driver and has done some pretty crazy things, but it'd probably be best if I don't mention any here...

Worst. Movie. Ever.

1. Today we learned how to use Word 2007 to edit a paper. It was very helpful and it is awesome to be able to track my editing changes.

2. At the end we talked about how to make sure all the changes are gone for the final paper, and I'm not sure how we did that.

3. The worst movie I have ever seen is Epic Movie. We only got through a few minutes of it. Yeah, it was that bad.

How to Write a Paragraph

My ah-ha moment today came when I realized how important it is to have an issue, discussion, and point in a paragraph.

Everything I learned today was crystal clear and will be helpful in my future writing.

The following is the first paragraph in my proposal:

The depositional environment of the Entrada sandstone is dominated by eolian or windblown sand. Eolian dominated sands are known to be highly porous and permeable. However, the Entrada sandstone near Capitol Reef National Park is near the Entrada-erg margin and is influenced by a tidal flat depositional system. This paper proposes to investigate how the tidal flat facies within the Entrada may act as baffles or even barriers to fluid flow and operate as potential stratigraphic traps.

(The issue is in italics, the discussion is normal, and the point is in bold.)

Web Design

1. Today we learned how to use the repository and upload our resume and pictures. It is all pretty clear to me.

2. There is nothing that is frustrating to me, I have a lot of experience creating web pages. I just wish we used WordPress instead of Joomla.

3. When I was a kid, I wanted to grow up to be a park ranger. That was probably because my dad worked for the state parks, and we visited a lot of national parks and it looked like fun.
