Email vs. the slow mail

So I can't stand sending mail the normal way but I will admit I love getting it. I just feel so important...lol. It means someone took time to actually sit down with pen and paper and fill out an envelope just for me! Writing an email to someone is pretty easy now and doesnt take too much time. You just type what you want to say and then push send and your done. Although I do like email because if your typing to your friends you can short hand most of the words. i never wrry bout puncuation or grammar when im typing in an email. i can say g2g instead of actually writing out got to go or ttyl instead of talk to you later. those sort of things make a big difference. and so now when i write papers i do that on accident so i just have to be careful. so overall...email is way better and SOOO much faster since its like instant. the only good thing about normal mail is that its fun to get...hehehe!

Publishing

I don't read too much publishing...well printed that is. Most of the news or information I get is from the TV or sometimes online. I like to go and read what my friends have to say on myspace or facebook so i guess that counts? maybe?!? The only time I really read the newspaper is when I read the sports section. I like to read about UW sports and my old high school, just to see how they are still doing. That to me is the most interesting section in the paper. I still haven't gotten to the stage in my life where the rest of it is interesting to me...lol. O i also read magazines. But the girlie, fashion kind, like Seventeen or Cosmo. It keeps me up to date with the "in styles", lol. Once in awhile I'll be at my friends house and he will have a Science magazine that he wants me to look at and he shows me all the new gidgets and gadgets that will come out in a few years or that are already out, so those are sometimes interesting too. So I guess from what I just wrote I can take back what I said about not reading printed material cause I guess I do, more than I think actually!

HTML

This was actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be. When I was doing it I had no idea what I was doing. I was just following the directions. I didn't know what any of the stuff meant. It was all in gibberish to me. When I first read over the directions I was like o crap, im screwed. But then when I started I was like this is pretty easy. After when I saw the end result I was like WOAH thats crazy! I had no clue it was going to turn out like that. I never use Word like that and maybe I will some day. I just use it to write papers, like most college students. I don't really go in depth about the program. I just need to know how to double space things, change the font and size, and maybe a few other things. If it becomes more complicated than that, well count me out. But like I said, this wasn't too bad. It was interesting to me acutally. To think and see that I actually did that. Hopefully one day, like after this quarter is done, I will understand what I did and maybe know how to teach someone how to do it to!

Vanity Search

So I typed alot of different things in to see what I could find. I tried just my name, my name plus other things such as Puyallup, UW cheer, Dance, and Bellarmine. Most of them just came up with random people that I don't know. There was one thing that I found that had to do with me. I typed in Elizabeth Hamann, Bellarmine. About a year ago last month my dad passed away so obviously we had an obituary. The link took me to the online one and my name was in it and it said that donations could be made under my name and sent into Bellarmine. http://www.legacy.com/Tribnet/DeathNotices.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=17107318. I'm surprised nothing when I typed my name along with dance because I have won some awards and I know they post the winners on their websites. O well! In some way its a good thing that you can't find stuff about me by typing my name online! I feel safe now knowing that...hehehe!
