From Word to Pages...

Throughout my middle school and high school years, being able to properly create a Word document was a requirement rather than an option.  I took a formal computer skills and accounting class my freshman year of high school, which required me to learn the general structure of Word and it's applications.  Although I have a basic understanding of Word, my level of expertise can be greatly enhanced. My connections with Word were recently limited when I switched from a Dell to a Mac and subsequently from Word to Pages (a Mac's equivalent of Word).  As I learned to navigate through the obscure Pages of Mac, I regrettably left Word behind.  I would like to brush up my skills on using keyboard shortcuts, creating indents, and changing style sets.   

The Initiation of a New Blogger

Hi! My name is Esha Mahmood.  I'm from Cedar Hill, Texas or more generally described as a "town 30 minutes away from Dallas".  Just as the name suggests, my bustling hometown is a valley adorned with a surplus of trees and a serene lake, well at least half of it.  From thriving corporations and heavy duty traffic to cedar filled landscapes and hilly drives, my town is the perfect example of an oxymoron.  Here is a google earth link for Cedar Hill. http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=32.58496,-96.951101&z=12&t=h&hl=en

Did I mention Cedar Hill is filled with bobcats and alien-like activity.  Before I get carried away with my many stories concerning these subject matters, let me tell you a little about myself.  I enjoy reading, watching movies, and traveling.  I've been fortunate enough to have come across many diverse ideas and have encountered many different cultures through these activities. Like many, I have a fascination with learning new things.  This may be why I'm a current events fiend.  My day is incomplete if I haven't read or watched the news.  Although I never quite understood why people were obsessed or addicted to certain things, I am guilty of being obsessed with the series "LOST".  I've gone through a 24 hour "LOST" marathon!  Who can blame me, the show is amazing.  

I'm on the premed path and aspire to follow the family profession.  Being brought up by a family full of physicians, I've been acquainted with medical jargon, the sanitized halls of hospitals, and the desire to help others.  I come from a small family of four, composed of my parents, my younger sister, and me, but have a large extended family and vibrant cultural background.  I've joined the chemistry, psychology, and cultural club here at Trinity University and will be joining TUVAC.  In addition I hope to participate in biological research in the near future.  I must admit, my computer skills are by no means great.  I did take a technology course my freshman year of high school, but a lot of what I know is self learned.  I am excited to be able to broaden and sharpen my skills and hope to extend my technological experience from simply using Microsoft Word and the Internet on basic grounds to much much more!
