Excel

Despite being initially intimidated by the Excel assignment, I have to say I truly enjoyed it. Figuring out formulas makes me think a great deal. It reminds me of how much I have to think when working on my math homework. I love the challenge. The more my mind has to engage the more I enjoy working on a project.

I suppose that is why I have an affinity for crossword puzzles. I use to despise them. Then my family began working on the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle Frank Longo puzzles every Sunday morning. I would make everyone breakfast and we would all see who could finish the puzzle first. My older brother was the reigning king, but occasionally I would sneak in for the victory. They were good times, and sadly we have not done our Sunday morning get togethers since my mom passed.

Keeping my mind in gear was one of the many reasons I returned to school. I think it is important and I truly love the feeling of really having to think to figure something out. As much as I complain about Math I like it, I feel the same way about Excel. A challenge is a challenge and if it makes me think, I am in.
