Hi Everybody!

Using excel this semester has been really fun! I won't lie, I thought it was going to be really boring. I took a computer class in high school where we learned about excel, and it did not excite me at all.
But, I learned so many interesting things about excel, like I had no idea you could link excel spreadsheets to other programs like word documents and powerpoint presentations. Not only can you link them, but if the original spreadsheet is edited, the revised form shows up in the other program it is linked to!
I also really enjoyed all the options and design patterns that excel with Vista has to choose from. I always like having lots of choices :) It is really interesting to me that something like math or graphs or charts can be made personal.
I think my favorite part of using excel is all of the formulas that are available. Any tool that helps me avoid doing math is completely awesome in my book!
I have really enjoyed learning about excel in this class and just this class in general! I'm also really looking forward to working with photoshop and powerpoint!

Thanks,
Eva Thompson
