Wireless Internet Across Campus!

Having access to the internet anywhere on Trinty's campus is absolutely amazing! When it is a beautiful, sunny day, I sit outside under the trees on a blanket and work on homework. In most of my classes I need the internet to check assignments on Blackboard so having access to the internet is very important. Even though I use it for homework there are other distractions like facebook. There is even a facebook group called, "I was doing my homework, then ended up on facebook!" Haha! I am in the group, because I do tend to end up on facebook! I feel very fortunate to go to college that has a wireless campus because not all do. UCSC got wireless internet all over campus in 2005!

Microsoft Office 2007

I remember when my family got our first computer with internet in 1999! Now I can't imagine living without it! Since then, computers have been used continuously throughout school. I have had to use them to do projects, homework, resumes, and more. Computers are a critical part of society now. It seems like I have always had to use computers and feel very comfortable using computer programs like Microsoft Office. The new Microsoft Office 2007 is not too difficult too adjust to. The only problem I've ever really had with it is headers. I cannot figure out how to format it where the header on the first page can be different from the others. Other than that, I feel very comfortable working with Microsoft Office! :)

Computer Meltdown!! :O

I sit down at my computer at 9 P.M. Monday evening to start my CS 1300 homework for the next day when I see the "blue screen of death"!!! What else could go wrong? Lucky for me, I have an amazing roommate and suitemmates who are more than willing to let me use their computers! Or I could just go to Murchinson computer lab and work there. Good thing I copied all my files to my Y drive!! The day is saved! :)

About Me

Hey everybody!
My name is Avery Callon. I am a first year here at Trinity and absolutely loving it! :)
I am originally from New Orleans, Louisiana but moved to The Woodlands, TX in 2000.

Here is an aerial view of The Woodlands:

As you can see, The Woodlands is a planned community and is very different from New Orleans. Even though I miss the culture and atmosphere of Louisiana, I enjoy what Texas has to offer.

I haven't gotten too involved in clubs at Trinity. I decided that I should get used to college first and the work load before I put more on my plate. I am in Trinity's Catholic Student Group and University Choir which I love!

This class sounds pretty exciting! I have a fairly good background in computers. I took AP Computer Science my junior year of high school and had fun writing programs and such. So this class doesn't sound too difficult, but I should still get a lot out of it! What I am most looking forward to is the graphics section where we learn about photoshop! I love photos, so I'm excited to learn how to enhance them!

You can contact me at acallon@trinity.edu

Well I hope everyone is having a great day!

Avery
