It was a much easier session without other appointments all day. I was able to feel rested and prepared for class.
In class we mostly worked on yesterday’s Google Slides Power of Wellness presentation. I felt more comfortable sharing my screen. I felt confident about my ability to organize the google slides and relay the information.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow, now that the Wednesday Thump is out of the way.
What I learned today
We viewed slide presentations by classmates and gave our own. It offered different perspectives on ways to tell the same story and utilize different options in Google Slides.
My first project!
Today I worked on Project Inception. I learned how to create a virtual machine and install an ISO on it through the RDC. I also observed some troubleshooting when I ran into a problem, which was interesting.
What I Did Today
Today, my main responsibilities as an administrative associate are my daily task for the day to research and post job listings onto the CTP skill center website, and my main task for the day is to research general emails and contact information for foundations from a provided list and then send email messages to the applicable foundations. I logged more general emails and site forms for provided foundations to be contacted, filtered out foundations without proper contact sites and general emails and messaged around 4 more foundations using the provided email template.
July 8, 2026
We finished our Google Slides today. I had it mostly finished, so I worked on my tech article for tomorrow and my Skillsoft learning. I also looked up some templates for Google Slides for feature reference. All the presentations were good, congratulations to you all for doing such a good job!

What Today Held 07/07/2026
Excited about slides presentation- actually enjoy presentations.
I am spending time on this slideshow because I tend to get fussy with the presentation being properly. . . presented. I take presentations as art shows and really believe the aesthetics and ease matter. It also makes me realize I may need to calm down and not overdo or overthink the presentation’s responsibilities, rather than being overwhelmed by aesthetics. Again, I really appreciate (I believe their names are) Esther and Eleanor conversing before class officially starts. Easing me into socializing with comfort.
