Microsoft Word

I've been using Microsoft Word my whole life, even though I have a Mac, so I'm pretty familiar with the program. And since I've come to college, I've had to learn even more about it so I can format the document and change the margins, add headnotes, etc. While I was reading the chapters, I noticed they discussed a lot of simple skills I already know how to do, but what I need to review is formatting the document, the only things I was really familar with was margins and headnotes/footnotes.

Back-up Plan

If it was 9:00 the night before class and for some reason my computer crashed and I could not do my Computer Skills homework, I would go up to Murchison and do my homework there. If for some reason all of those computers were not working, I'd use my roommate's or hallmate's computer.

All About Me


Hi I'm Elizabeth! I'm a first year from Austin, Texas. Although I call Austin my hometown, I was born in Japan and have lived in three countries and five states! I don't participate in any sports currently, but in high school I cheered, was a part of the cross country team, and ran track. Because I'm not playing any sports here, I'm planning on getting involved with Greek life and possibly join more clubs in the future. I plan on majoring in English, but I'm not completely sure what I want to do. However, I'm pretty sure I won't be majoring in Computer Science. This class should be somewhat of a challenge, I own a Mac so my computer skills, what few I have, on a PC aren't fantastic. I took a typing class in middle school and in the process we learned a little bit about computers. So I haven't learned much about computers, and what I did learn I don't really remember. But I'm willing to learn and hopefully by the end of this class will be more computer literate. We'll see how this class goes and hopefully it'll be a fun semester!

Austin is the live music capital of the south, but the geography is pretty cool! We have two amazing man-made lakes and our part of hill country is breath taking! Check it out: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=30.268735,-97.745209&z=11&t=h&hl=en
