Regarding Your Humble Correspondent


My name is James Jordan Enloe. I have always been known as "Jordan." I was born in Tallahassee, Florida on November 25, 1975, making me roughly the same age as the parents of my classmates (O.K., maybe that is a slight exaggeration--though I'm sure most of them aren't old enough to get the reference of this blog title). I grew up in Tallahassee until I was nineteen years old. You can see a map of my childhood neighborhood here. I played soccer for eleven years on real teams, and played lots of football and soccer in my back yard. I also spent a lot of time playing in the woods. Now, I prefer air conditioning and video games (although I am really itching to play soccer again). I joined the United States Air Force in 1995, and they moved me to San Antonio in August of that year. I am transferring as a Junior to Trinity after graduating from San Antonio College. The secret fact about me is that I'm a straight hard-rollin gangsta representin tha streetz. O.K., not really. My real secret fact is that I play drums and percussion. I played in rock bands in high school and have played on and off in church for almost thirteen years. Like many of you, I was suprised that I was required to take this course. I have worked in many administrative positions requiring a great deal of computer work, and had considered myself at least somewhat proficient in the use of personal computers. I am still looking forward to this course, however. There is always more to learn, and in particular, this class will focus on Office 07, a version I had never used at all until I downloaded the suite from Trinity. Feel free to get in touch with me by emailing me at jenloe@trinity.edu.
