My Winter Break

During my winter break I don't expect to get a lot done except maybe to watch some movies or hang out with some friends. On December 22, my dad will be returning home for the holidays. He is to stay with us until January 1 of the new year. On the 22nd I might be going to a winter bash party that a friend is going to throw. I'm really looking forward to that because I have never been to a winter party before.

Around Christmas eve I'm probably going to be hanging out with my best friend Isaiah. He's hanging out with his mom and opening presents. Only reason I'm looking forward to this is because I've never really seen Christmas eve nor Christmas up close. By that I meant that all I know about Christmas is what you see on television which is very ignorant. So for me getting this opportunity to see what Christmas is like in reality is kind of a treat to me.

On Christmas day I'll be hanging out with another one of my best friends. She's going to be alone for Christmas so I decided to kind of hang out with her so she won't feel alone for Christmas. After that it's all undecided what I'll be doing. I really want to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks and I am Legend because they look very interesting and funny. If I get lucky I'll get the chance to snowboard at Snow Trails. The icing on the cake for my winter break would be for O.S.U. to give L.S.U. a beat down. GO BUCKS!!

PowerPoint Presentation

This workshop taught me some new things that I hadn't known about the new Microsoft 2007 PowerPoint. There was a new way to time the slides where you had to prerecord the slide show so that you could rehearse your speech. There were a couple of new things to the program that benefited towards the power point, but there were also some set backs too. There are now fewer options you can choose from when you're choosing your background or layout for the slides. But the upside to this was that you could now customize the way you wanted it to look. For example you could change colors of the background or the boarder of the slides to different colors and make it your taste.

I think that this presentation could have been a little bit more lively. In my opinion it was a little dull and dead. If it were to have some of the qualities that came with the new PowerPoint, like animation or some music it could have made the presentation a bit better. I really wanted to see how the videos would've been uploaded to the PowerPoint. If they added some sound animation to the presentation I could have been more attentive to the presentation. Other then that I found the presentation to be quite useful.

I feel pretty good using PowerPoint 2007. I think that its got its up and downs. I liked how it was remodeled because it looks more industrialized. I find the new tabs near the bar more useful because it shows whats all in the tab. I also really liked how the PowerPoint 2007 shows the layouts of what you scroll over. The animation has also been changed so that when you move your cursor over the sound it plays a little clip for you. Overall I found that the PowerPoint 2007 is a little better than the previous programs.

Introduction





Welcome to Afif's blog page. I am 15 and a sophomore at Centennial High, the home of the Stars. I'm a very nice guy who enjoys having lots of laughs. I can be a very steadfast friend to people who I'm close to. I like to hang out with my friends and play basketball everyday, those things are my daily necessities. I like to watch movies once in a while and I have to watch t.v. at least once a day. I love to watch college football and I absolutely love to watch the NBA play. My favorite football team would be Ohio State and my favorite NBA team is the Houston Rockets.




From this program I am really hoping to learn a lot that I hadn't already known about computers and how they function. For example, learning how to troubleshoot the Internet or even fix its connectivity (if it were to be disconnected) would be very beneficial to me. Another example, would be how to clean out the hardware on the inside and find ways to make working with the computer easier. By the end of this year, I'm hoping to have a job where I could work in the technological field and possibly go further with it and make it a career.





So far, in this program I have learned that networking is a very profitable advantage to have when working with others. I also learned how to work a g-mail. The latest thing that we learned is what a blog was and how they function. I have really enjoyed working with the people that I have met so far. They know how to make things fun and also get the job done at the same time.
