How're your studies going? c:

All my grandmother does is sleep sleep sleep. She can't eat and hardly drinks, only a few sips of water that she struggles with keeping in. But she's not in any pain. It won't be long now that she keeps getting weaker and weaker.

I know it's empty consolation, but in a way, if she's not in any pain and suffering that's best...
I know for my grandfather it was...


As for studies. They're ok. I'm just hoping they'll be completed soon... Most of the stuff we're seeing is so logical or simple it's starting to hurt my head... (for example: how to make a powerpoint with images that appear in special orders)

I'd rather be bored with simple tasks than get frustrated with things that are too difficult personally c':

This is your last year?

I don't mind frustration if I can learn from it... :mcheh:


As for last year... It's an education that only takes 6 months... So I guess it is my first and last year!
It's a VDAB education programme...

I had to take an Excel course myself from the VDAB for 2 months. I was the only young adult among 40-50 year olds c':

we basically learned how to use Excel to make lists/graphs/calculations and such

so like first grader stuff c':

as such I totally get your frustration

Thanks. That's basically what I'm getting now, only it's for Word and Powerpoint... :mcheh:
I can't wait for the 'website management' classes. I love html and bcc code and really want to learn more from someone that can actually explain it clearly (internet is a bit contradictory at times)...
Sadly I fear they may be cancelled... :mccry:

At least I don't suffer alone! StarLightX3 shares my frustration *evil cackle ending in sad cries* :mcheh:

I pretty well taught myself the whole office suite as a kid, because I had special classes during everyone's computer/art time in grade school. Then again I'm not normal. :P
