It’s Been a Week, An Update

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Last week, I was finally given the final results of my assessments from the previous week. I don’t think it was a definitive estimate of what I had produced. Some items that I know I did not do were not mentioned, others that I know I did do were on the list of things I didn’t. I still say I am rusty.

Anyhow, the final score was 8 out of 8 for the Powerpoint portion of the test and I guess my score is still 7 on the Word/Excel portion because an actual number had not been given. I have the option to take it over and they will only keep the high score.

A Productive Couple of Weeks

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

As I sit here listening to music, cleaning out my mail box and some of my numerous social lists, I find myself thinking back on my week. This past week was probably the most productive and positive I have had in some time. The week prior I saw a few people but did not end feeling like I really accomplished much. I mean I was the first person to get a perfect score on their MS Word evaluation. It just wasn’t a big deal because I don’t feel that it was an honest assessment of what I could do because there was no creation involved.

This past week, I was in testing much of the week. The two that I am particularly concerned with are the MS Word/Excel and Powerpoint tests. I am a bit rusty since I haven’t done any completely native work in the last 2 or so years in MS Office. Turns out I am not that rusty at all. I was told at 1st glance, my tests were about 7, 7+ out of 8, respectively.

Recently, I have a been getting to spend a bit more time with Minimee. I realize he has been reaching out to me, but because I have been down I have been kinda hiding. I just realize that although he might be a stoic like me sometimes, he needs me as much as I need him. We tend to buffer each other’s concerns. So I have made it a point to have lunch with him everyday after school, so we can talk, get some of the stuff that is bother us out. I like to keep him informed of what’s going on with me. I don’t want him thinking I have given up on him.
