Working with Excel

Before starting this class, I had a pathological fear of Excel.  Maybe it was because of this horrible computer class I took my freshman year of high school, where the teacher expected us to have some innate knowledge of functions and graphs.  So, basically what I've learned so far is how to actually use Excel, which before was this giant blank in my mind (thank you, Professor Belisle).  I'm not sure exactly how it would be useful within the areas I want to study (Literature), but if it ever is needed it's nice knowing how to use the parts we've learned.  I could definitely use it to calculate grades or my GPA, if I ever get obsessed enough.  I really find the finance part of it helpful, so I think it will be most useful for me with accounting, because, most likely, if I end up a teacher I'll never be able to afford to pay someone else to do it (sadly).  All in all, I'm glad I'm learning it and that all my panic is gone.
