A Thank You Letter To The Most Boring Class On Earth By: April Edwards

To Whom It May Concern:       4/25/11
This computer class has been nothing more than a pearl of joy in my life. The time I've spent casually browsing the internet and writing meaningful essays has benefitted me greatly. I have researched many useful things such as self-hypnosis and the rattlesnake population in Arizona. I have improved my fitness routine through helpful health and wellness sites. I have learned to browse the internet without keeping Facebook up and running. Most importantly, I have rediscovered my appreciation for writing. When I'm able to turn a mundane subject into a captivating masterpiece, I feel like a literary genius. Not many are capable of turning words into art. It's a gift I had forgotten.
In addition to being able to explore my artistic horizons, I have gotten acquired to the fascinating and charming program of Excel. Nothing excites me more than opening up a blank spreadsheet. I see the rows and columns of empty cells and picture the treasures I could fill them with; budgets, payrolls, grade reports or even calendars! I feel as if the world is my canvas. I appreciate the simple design of the Excel program. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the multitude of format and formula options, I felt at ease and capable of achieving great organizational skills.
Lastly, this class of computer literacy has enabled me to step up an appropriate email address for professional communication. My current email address, Just.Wanna.Jump@gmail.com, could potentially raise questions about my mental stability. Of course, this wasn't the connotation I was trying to achieve. I did not, in fact, want to jump and hopefully will never reach that point of suicidal desperation. So in mending this confusing issue of interpretation, I have created an email address that does not reek of emotional turbulence; simply, Aedwards0311@gmail.com. If I were an employer responding to a job inquiry, I would surely appreciate the simplicity of such an address.
I would like to thank Gene, our instructor, for being so accommodating to our personal needs. Without him, my computer skills would be lacking, and I would never acquire the cubicle-confined, nine to five, repetitive office job that I am destined to have. A great many doors have opened. Thank you.
Sincerely,
April Edwards
