During this phase, I believe I did the best that I could do at the time. However, that will not stop me from doing the best of what is needed. During the past weeks, I have been juggling working 2 jobs and am currently experiencing burnout. But today, I've decided to reset and start over with a stronger work ethic for the rest of the semester. One semester lasts for 4 months, and in those 4 months, many things can happen. In the past, I tended to be hard on myself if I don't do my best halfway through the semester. This results in the "Whatever. I've already failed. Let's fail even more" attitude. In life, I have noticed that you will experience hardships, and the only thing you can do is get back up. That is my attitude to perform my best in this class!
A topic from Chapter 4 that was really fun to learn was 4.9.2 Theme and Style Sets. I liked how cohesive the themes that Microsoft already gives. It's very gentle on the eye and it doesn't seem overbearing. Which makes sense as a team of designers are likely to be behind the designs. I like the versatility and how professional it also looks.
For the upcoming MO-110 Word Certification Exam, I plan to practice the previous chapters as much as I can. I really hope I can pass the first time, but if not I'm glad that Microsoft gives you another chance to take the test again. This opportunity will be great on my resume as Accounting internships or job openings require Microsoft Excel, Word, or PowerPoint experience and a certification really stands out as credible.
I'm really looking forward to the rest of my journey from this class and I hope to come out succesful in the end!
Reset is a good way to fight burnout, Lovelle :-)
ReplyDeleteLightening up on yourself by recognizing your own excellent work such as your A5 Slideshow Presentation is better!
You will conquer the MO-110 Word exam and come out successful at the end of IS101-3005, Spring 2026 ^_^
Hi Lovelle, I can relate to what you said about burnout because honestly I’m starting to feel that too. Balancing classes and everything else can really drain your energy after a while. What pushes me to keep going sometimes is my own stubborn mindset. In my head I imagine people, even Professor Albert, mocking me and saying that I would fail this class. That thought actually pushes me to focus more because I don’t want to give anyone the chance to laugh at me. It might sound a little dramatic, but it works as motivation for me.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you about the themes and style sets in Word. They really do make documents look more professional without having to design everything from scratch. Sometimes just choosing a good theme already makes the document look clean and organized. Your plan to keep practicing for the MO-110 exam sounds solid. Hopefully all that practice will help you pass it the first time.
