Powerpoint...Good or Bad?

I do not think Powerpoint is overused because it can be interesting, full of information, it is very helpful and of course it is a very quick way to present a message you are trying to deliver in a simple way. The advantages of using Powerpoint is that it helps a presenter sum up there message. You can also add color, sound, images, charts, and so forth. One disadvantage of using Powerpoint is that it does not contain the same advantages as other Microsoft programs. You can make your slide show stand out by using a variety of color, sound, pictures, and so forth.

Spring Break 2009

I had such a blast this spring break. I was doing something everyday. There was never a dull moment. I hung out with my friends pretty much all day and if not I hung out with them at night. We stayed up late just hanging out, joking around, and laughing. Another thing I did for spring break was go to Lubbock. I never really stay in Lubbock, but when I did it was interesting and so much fun. Spring break was pretty much a taste of summer. So with that said I have a very good feeling that this summer is going to be exciting. I cant wait!=]
