English 303

My family didn't get a computer until I was in middle school, but my grandparents and cousins had one before that and I used them at school, so I would say that I grew up a digital native. I have had a cell phone since 8th grade, and an ipod since high school.

We used the internet to play games when I was younger, but I pretty much did homework and instant messaged my friends in high school.

The earliest thing I remember doing on the web is playing computer games with my older cousin Justin: Asteroids, Wing Commander, and a few others.

I use the web to check my bank account balance, email (MIX and AOL), and for homework, research, Facebook, and to log hours for volunteer work and tutoring. I no longer use AIM--I hate it. I have no Myspace. I'm looking into using Skype in case I am accepted to study abroad and need a cheap way to call my family at home.
I hate using aspects of the web I'm not familiar with for classes, it stresses me out until I get the hang of it, so the first few weeks of 303 and 305 aren't going to be fun. Other than that, it's okay.

I have my English 303 and 305 blog, but I have no webpage. I spend 2 hours a day on the web, depending on what writing I'm doing (mostly essays and email, etc.)

I'm familiar with all of Office 2007, Publisher 98, and Adobe Photoshop.
