FU-SION-HA! (Fishy Fishy)
Today in BTT class, we learned how to make several personalized letters that conveys the same message, but there are things in it that is different in everybody's. In Word, this tool is called Mail Merge.
First you go to Tools, Letters and Maillings, then Mail Merge. State what type of document you want to creat. For letters, choose Letters. Then choose 'Use the Current Document'. You can type up a new list or use one that already exists. There might be some fields that you want to make yourself or you can use the ones that are already there. Once you got those down, you can create several records that will be used in your letter. Records are the things you put down like the actual name of the person, where she lives, what her age is, etc. When you're done, type up your letter, placing the fields where you want them. There would be a button that allows you to do this on the left top corner. Then you can go to Tools, Mail Merge, and do step 3. The amount of records you created would be the same as the amount of letters you have.
So that's what we did in BTT class. Now let's go to Geography...
My geography presentation was the worst presentation I ever did in my life! I went up in front of the class and forgot everything I memorized. I said too many umms and sorries, I got lost throughout my own presentation, I was as nervous as hell, I was about to cry, I was about to ask the teacher to let me start over when I was 75% done, and I was about to tell the person in front of me, "Can you please move? I'm going to barf."
It was the most... stressful presentation I ever did. The only good thing about it though is that I went third, and my teacher was marking the first people to do it very leniently. There was this part of my project that had to do with a little stick-on fish. My teacher and several of my classmates thought that it was really creative and cute. Thinking back on it now, the only part of my presentation that I knew what to say was the environmental issue. Everything else was a blurr. Thank goodness, that little fishy saved my life!
Well, I guess that's what I get for trying to over-prepare myself. This geography project was just a big deal for me though. I wasn't as half ready as I thought I would be.
