Today, I began by typing for 15 minutes using Monkeytype. After that, I completed my BerkMart Event Project spreadsheet. I added a list of flights on a second sheet and created a PDF file to attach to an email. I then emailed the event information along with the required data. Finally, I created event labels using Avery Label Merge.

What I did today:
10/30 Today’s focus was working on Skillsoft courses and working on my tech article for tomorrow’s presentation.
What I did today
Today, I took a deep dive into the world of computer hardware, gaining insights that broadened my understanding of how different components work together. I focused on the distinctions between RAM, HDDs, and SSDs, and learned how to replace an HDD with an SSD—a process that can significantly improve a computer’s performance.
I discovered that RAM is essential for short-term data storage, allowing for quick access and multitasking capabilities. In contrast, HDDs use spinning disks to store data, making them slower but more cost-effective for larger capacities. SSDs, on the other hand, utilize flash memory for faster access and improved performance, which is why upgrading from an HDD to an SSD can lead to noticeable speed enhancements.
The process of replacing an HDD with an SSD involved backing up data, removing the old drive, and securely installing the new one—a straightforward task that can have a profound impact on overall system responsiveness.
Additionally, I learned about various display technologies, such as LCDs, LEDs, and OLEDs. Each type has its unique strengths, particularly in terms of brightness, color accuracy, and energy efficiency.
Overall, today was filled with valuable insights that not only enhanced my technical knowledge but also empowered me to make informed decisions about hardware upgrades. Understanding these components is crucial for anyone looking to optimize their computer’s performance.

What I Did Today
Today I found and submitted 3 job listings to CTP’s skill center in the first hour. I managed to find a remote job, but I was a bit slower than usual. I continued with some ERG outreach but found it difficult to find forms where I could input the template information effectively. I also worked on improving my typing speed in the next hour. At 11:00, I had a check-in meeting with Carrie where we discussed how to deal with the character limit on forms for outreach, and we also discussed a new task involving finding CTP Alumni on LinkedIn. Although it seems difficult to find people, and confirm that they graduated from CTP, it gives me something new to work on when the well runs dry with outreach links. Finally, we discussed me nearing the end of my first 100 hours of AWEX, and the process for onboarding again for the next part. I am looking forward to it, but there may be a lull while that gets set up. I still have one more shift tomorrow.
