TD08 PowerPoint Print Options

I learned many new skills in this PowerPoint chapter. One thing, in particular, I had never explored prior to completing this section was the PowerPoint printing options. 6.10.2 is so simple and useful but I never needed to print my presentation so I never needed it. I just like that I am now equipped to prepare and print presentation slides that include note sections and headers and footers.

The Aftermath

I felt inspired to go ahead and detail the concert experience since there was so many well wishes on the last post.

Allegient Stadium is gargantuan to begin with; I think we ended up walking some miles throughout the entire concert. As we walked up to the venue, we saw all of the other ARMYs gathering with their friends, showing off their outfits and lightstick designs, and sharing and swapping their photocards. I received a number of small freebies that other concertgoers had brought to pass out including a photocard and a few stickers.

I pride myself on being a fan while having some sense about me but the scream that I let out when the lights first went down can only be described as ear-piercing, blood-curdling, and everything in between. I actually think I lost my voice right there at the beginning because I was struggling throughout the rest of the concert. It was the most fun I've had in FOREVER.

BTS' ability to tour in general has been greatly affected by the pandemic. My friends and I speculated that there may be a world tour announcement at the end of the concert but didn't want to get our hopes up too much. Finally, after the last song, the lights went down and suddenly displayed was a compilation of clips of them throughout their career, since their debut in 2013. Then at the end it read: "06.10.2022". I used the last bit of voice to scream at this announcement.

Just know after June 10th you can catch me bumping their new album daily!

Turning Vegas Purple

This upcoming Saturday is the BTS concert. BTS is a South Korean music group comprised of 7 members if you haven't heard of them before. 

BTS' group of fans is called "ARMY". I'm particularly excited because I became a fan during the pandemic and have not had the chance to see them live yet before. A few months ago, before the concert was even announced, I purchased an ARMY lightstick for the group. The lightstick is pretty self-explanatory; it's designed to have the group's name and can connect to their music videos to light up in different, ordered sequences. At the concert, I'll be able to connect the lightstick to my concert seat and shapes and designs are displayed throughout the crowd. I cannot wait to be in the middle of the madness and just have the time of my life. 

The best part is that the concert is only 1 portion of their overall "Permission to Dance" Vegas experience. They are hosting other events around the city and I'm hoping to catch the light/water show at the Bellagio Fountain. 

For fun, if you want to, please look up the 7 members and comment who your favorite would be and why based off first impression! :)

TD07 Microsoft Excel 5.5 Formatting Cells

There were many things in this section that I was aware of because it is used the same way in Word. The number formatting features were the biggest thing I learned from this chapter. I was a stranger when it came to Excel, I would avoid using it at all costs. Someone like me would have taken the time to go cell by cell adding dollar signs, decimals, and hyphens. Being able to use just a click or two to go from just numbers to money or phone numbers. I will be sure to put this to use at work.
