Yes I'm on Facebook...but it took me awhile. I first created a Facebook page less than a year ago more out of the realization that college means leaving friends than for the fun of it. Before that I had always questioned the point of sites like Facebook...I mean I saw my friends every day what was the point of just "friending" them again every night? But now I have come to realize that Facebook gives me the chance to keep in touch with people that would otherwise have been virtually impossible. Yeah sure there is IM'ing and texting but those things take up a good amount of time when all you want to do is say hello. Facebook only requires a sentence or to on a "wall" and that's all, which is much more convenient and gives more time for thoughtful responses rather than awkward silences. Therefore Facebook in my opinion is the King of the social world and grants students like me to keep in touch with friends of old that would have otherwise dropped to the end of the Earth.

Word Experience
In the past I have discovered Word in detail through my BCIS class my Junior year. In the class we had a book very much like the Microsoft Office textbook that we followed step-by-step and discovered how to use the various tools on Word. The class taught me how to use so many more tools than the obvious ones, tools that I still use consistently today.
I would like to rediscover some of the tools that I have forgotten and learn how to use the shortcuts that I never seem to remember. The shortcuts would save me time and allow me to swiftly move through a document.

Introducing: Me
On October 11, 1989 my mother produced her second out of three children and named her Staci after a character on the comedy "Alf". I have since never been called anything else since (excluding of course my middle name on certain precarious situations). I am a native born Texan, born in Houston, and am from a town, sorry "village", named Pleak; population 946. Pleak is located about 25 minutes southwest of Houston and currently houses only a village hall, two gas stations, and one stoplight. (You can follow the link from Google earth to view itty bitty Pleak with this address, you might have to zoom in): http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Pleak,+TX&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=35.082817,78.75&ie=UTF8&ll=29.483764,-95.807304&spn=0.037656,0.076904&t=h&z=14
In this respect, living in Texas, I have grown up with numerous animals including two horses, two dogs, three cats, one rabbit, one pig, and one chinchilla named Chico. Also, being a Texan, I've grown up living next to a barn bigger than our actual house which is a product of my dad's imagination. Growing up, I fought with two siblings, an older sister attending TX A&M and a younger brother currently attending my old high school and competing on the school's swim team. In high school my only computer experience was my Junior year for a semester when I took a BCIS course centered around computer programs. We learned the workings of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher. Trinity was a spontaneous decision for me since I never imagined attending anything other than a state public school; but I am grateful over my decision and am loving the experience so far. I am on the club volleyball team here at Trinity since volleyball was a major part of my life throughout my school years since the fourth grade. Additionally, I am an avid environmentalist and as a result most of my friends know to recycle when within my vicinity. I plan to make traveling a major part of my life and hopefully complete a study abroad program for a semester.
My secret fact for this class is that I have a pot-bellied pig named Harley. I know a pig is not a conventional pet since most of them are sent to a slaughter house but Harley enjoys the treats of a rather spoiled dog. He takes walks at night up and down our driveway and relishes in his own house/shed set up beside our garage.
