Whew! My powerpoint and project for AP European History bumped me up to an A in that class! I am [now] happy with it Btw Office 2010 rocks!

LOVE Office 2010.

I started using it a while back in its early form and have really warmed up to it. I can't go back to 07. I am FINALLY glad to have web saving with the cloud built right in. Makes life so much easier

I tried it a while back and I loved it. In fact, these are the results

Animated Icon Test in PowerPoint

Wow Zach! That was ALL made in PowerPoint 2010??? Microsoft has really seemed to update...those emulations look very much like the real thing. I don't think I could do that in PowerPoint 2003.

They were made in Office 2007, saved in PPT (97-03), and then opened in 2010. Only thing different is the animated icon comes out transparent in 2010, something 2003/07 can't do.

Well, only 1 day of "real class" left before the end of the year, tomorrow being field day and Mon-Tues I have finals and Wednesday is the last day, which means grade-level awards, and the 8th grade graduation. (Meaning Friday is the only real day left.)

So AT&T is making new data plans for the iPhone, and I'm saving $15/month!

How can they charge you 20 bucks for tethering (free if you jailbreak) and NOT increase the data cap. You aren't getting anymore data just paying for how you use it. I think thats outrageous

Eh I don't tether (will probably jailbreak since OS4 doesn't have multitasking for the 3G)

I get free tethering with Verizon's Android

Woot. One week down. One week to go. I am excited.

Speaking of excited, I studied so hard for today's COMPASS test. COMPASS is an online assessment test which can determine if you qualify for much more advanced reading classes. (I'm currently taking advanced reading 1). If you get a higher score and land on a higher scoring scale, you get to skip 1 or two classes in sequence. Since I got a score of 66 out of 80 (I think the total is 80), I get to skip Adv. Reading 2 and head up the final class in sequence! I'm excited, which means I can now worry about taking one more reading class. ^_^ Best part of this: I can take it online. 

I got my first grade for my graphic design project. If you have my FB, I posted my projects there. I won't get my 2nd grade till wednesday.

Now all I have to worry this weekend is working on the final 4 projects, and studying for finals. Pray I get over them fast!

I think that we are the EARLIEST in Mississippi to get out. We got out May 26th and we go back August 5th.

Geez, you guys in the south start so early. My last day is June 18th and I go back September 8th. I heard a school in Camden doesn't get out until June 30th (possibly due to all the snow days).

We start next year on August 19th and SHOULD get out on May 13th. Of course, that day will change. Trust me.

Google lets you add a background image now...
