...Access Day 2...

So, I must admit that this 2nd day of learning Access went a little smoother, but that was only because we pretty much built on what we learned, and maybe it seems as if people did seem to retain just a little bit of knowledge from the previous class. I found it to be a fairly easy day, but I like working on the computer and learning new programs.

After class I decided to work on the rest of the 1st homework assignment as well as begin the 2nd one. I hope all went right with the 1st one, as it seemed fairly simple to execute and I believe that I came up with the correct solutions. The 2nd assignment proves to be fairly trickier. This might be because I don't have Access @ home and don't have a lot of free time to spend in the basement of the library at school, but I just have to work with what I have. Add this more complex assignment to worrying about the 3 tests that I encountered this week, and you can imagine how much hair I have been losing stressing over my classes.

All in all, I believe that I seem to be getting a good handle on how Access works and what we might use it for. Thank god that it wasn't on the test though, because even though I can figure out how to do things, I'm not very good @ explaining the how or why. Case in point, my stepdad asked me to tell him what a Key is used for. I hadn't the foggiest way to put it into words, although he did seem impressed that we are learning practical applications like this in school, whereas we said that he had to teach himself the program.

I know that this blog was definitely not the wittiest, funniest or even most interesting to read, and that it took quite a few days longer that usual to post, but after 3 tests, about 10 hours of work, and one 10 year high school reunion over the weekend, I'm ending this long week tired, and in need of a good night's sleep!
