FINAL PROJECT!

5/5/11
NEW VOCAB: I didn't learn any new words this week that I can think of, but I did learn how to insert page breaks on Microsoft Word.

With this being my last full week of internship, Susan gave me one final project to work on: I am putting together a recipe book that includes all the recipes we have used in cooking classes this semester, and recipes that she and her interns used last semester as well (D). She makes a recipe book at the end of each year with all the recipes she used that year, and she thought this would be a great final project for me to work on. She emailed me all the recipes and the book template that she uses every year, and I immediately got to work. When I first started, I didn't think it would be too difficult of a task or that much work, but I was way wrong! First, I tried just copying and pasting all the recipes onto one page, but they were all in different formats, so I had to make sure they were all the same formats. I got so frustrated several times because the formatting seemed to never stay the same for all the recipes, no matter how hard I tried (F). I had a lot of trouble with certain lines indenting that I didn't want to have indented. I JUST finished finally getting all the recipes in the same format and under appropriate categories, but I still have quite a bit of work ahead of me. My next steps are to alphabetize the recipes in their individual categories and make sure that the recipes stay on one page (and don't run over onto a new page). By creating this recipe book, I have learned the importance of allowing plenty of time to complete projects, even if they seem simple on first glance (A)
