power point and other woes

This week I worked hard on Excel and Power Point to make a presentation for my Biology class; it was a group project although I did most of the work on the actual presentation. Power Point is an amazing program with beautiful image editing software; the ability to make a great presentation is right there at your fingertips.

Excel also has great data processing ability; the raw data I entered got crunched down into graphs. Although this is where I ran into my problem. I had a really hard time getting my second axis (the z axis) and after lots of trial and error I figured it out. It was a painful learning process to get my data to become the graph I needed it to be.

This group project showed me a lot about myself and how I work with others; I took control of the group and worked with those who were willing to apply themselves but being a perfectionist the project had to be perfect in my eyes (with or without the help of my group). In the end the power point presentation is beautiful, with my computer science degree I am very much interested in making multimedia so this project was perfect for me.
