It’s a wonderful Wednesday. Beautiful sunshiny day! Today I had good practice and a good score in typing. Then one other student and I were working on our Portfolio projects. I enjoyed today’s work since yesterday I had to think what to get on each slide; the right words and expressions I wanted. That was challenging. Today I was able to reread, reword, and reproof my work. I like doing that. Also, I enjoyed working on the creative side of the project. If only “my eyes” were better, I wouldn’t have to worry about the fonts so much. It was fun and interesting what things I could do to improve my presentation. I hope this is close to what I want my finished product to look like… have a wonderful rest of your Wednesday.

Worked in VB creating machines.

Today our instructor was absent, so it was mostly an independent work day. I worked on creating more virtual machines and their partitions per instructions. I also did a skillsoft course, and completed my weekly hours.

I started my day out by continuing my on-boarding with Carrie. I have completed my onboarding and can start doing my job duties. I posted jobs on the C.T.P. job board till the end of my shift. I’m looking forward to my workday tomorrow.

Since my instructor was out today, I decided to catch up and do some Skill-soft work.

Today, I continued to work on my Core Training Portfolio Project. I made several changes to my Portfolio Project including adding a background color, changing the font, editing photos, layout, and more. I changed several features on some of the photos like the opacity, brightness, contracts, border, and more. In addition to researching jobs to try to find a second job for my Portfolio.

Today was overall a good day. I made good progress getting through our lab, and got to the Advanced Lab section. From there, I would say I am half-way done.

I also managed to do around ~28 minutes of skillSoft. It is a small step, but a step none the less.

Today I finished up the Disk Partitions lab by setting up a VM to have both Bodhi and Debian linux flavors installed simultaneously. I spent a good portion of the day helping others with the lab because its pretty advanced and Jose was out today.

Hello. Today I continued to work on my elective. I have chosen to create a Google Slide Presentation describing the tale of the explorers who tried to reach the South Pole. I spent my time not only adding slides, text, and pictures but also working with the various features to try to make this Slide Show a little bit higher level. Each time I generate one I hope my work looks a little more advanced.

Today, I started with job postings, and then transitioned to working on the ERG project. I had a minor crisis occur in my apartment which lowered my productivity quite a bit today, but I was able to re-focus and still get my responsibilities done. I guess it’s good training for a full-time job!
