A Little Information About Me
My name is Lilian Heslop. I was born in Chicago. I joined the military when I was 17 years old and served in the U.S. Army for a little over 5 years. I lived in Washington State before moving to Virginia in April of 2008. I have two young sons and have been married to a wonderful man for 9 years. This is my first semester at GMU. I transferred here from NVCC.
How I Use Digital Media
When I typed my name into Google, Bing, and Yahoo, the only results pertaining to me was my Facebook page, and personal information from the white pages. I have virtually no on-line presence. I use the internet for research. I often use the college on-line databases when researching papers for school. I use the internet for entertainment. I like to watch interesting YouTube videos. I also use Netflix’s instant streaming to watch movies and TV shows. I use websites to try new recipes. I love to bake and frequently use http://www.joyofbaking.com/. This website, by Stephanie Jaworski, has a lot of interesting baking recipes, and many have demonstration videos. I also use the internet to keep in contact with my family. I do this through text, Facebook, Face Time and Skype. I like to shop on-line for goods and services such as movers and mechanics. I frequently rely on reviews from websites like Yelp in order to make an informed decision when shopping. My on-line activity is greater than I expected it to be.
