Hello again,
The last few weeks have been both hard and fun as I am getting used to my workload for this semester and enjoy the company of my friends. Hopefully you can say the same too!
I have had a lot of experience with Microsoft Word since almost every class I've taken since middle school requires it. I can easily crank out an essay and am confident with more advanced skills such as adding Headers and Footers and using the shapes (thanks to last week's class). However, I do forget how to do a few things occassionally and have to ask a friend. Oh well! Before I came to Trinity I used only Microsoft 2003, but now I can use both and even prefer using 2007 as it has a straight-forward format. Even though I consider myself well versed in Word, there are likely some aspects about it that I don't know about. I tend to use and reuse the same functions many times over. Therefore, I am eager to learn about new uses of Microsoft Word that can be applicable to my next assignment.
Until next time!

An Introduction
Hello, my name is John Runge. I'm a freshman from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The town itself is relatively small, but it is the home of the University of North Carolina which basically doubles the town's population during the school year. Although from North Carolina I've always considered myself a Texan. You see, I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, then moved to Galveston where I spent 6 wonderful years. Both my parents' families are spread throughout Texas and we also have a family ranch. These qualities led me to always desire coming back for school (and hopefully longer). Location, academics, and athletics were the big three factors in my school selection. Trinity is a perfect fit because it's in Texas, a great school academically, and has a fantastic tennis team of which I am a proud member.
Unfortunately, my computer background is limited. I'm pretty sure that I have not taken a computers course since middle school and I honestly can't even firmly assert that I did then either. I have never made too much of an effort to become technologically savvy, other than knowing enough to get through assignments in my classes and use the internet for my favorites http://www.espn.com/ and http://www.atptennis.com/ (and http://www.facebook.com/.) One of my brothers though, is incredibly well educated with computers and even travelled from Chapel Hill to Kansas City for a national web design convention during high school. He actively mods video games and is currently an engineer at Vanderbilt and leader of a Aerospace Club that receives grants from NASA. Pretty impressive, I know. But then there's me, who has a lot to learn about computers and am excited about the possibility of new experiences with Excel (a popular foe of mine) and other helpful programs like Photoshop.
(Oh yea, and my secret fact is that I'm ambidextrous!)
