What I want to learn about computers

My dairy life starts with a computer. Because I do not have a TV in my room, I always check the weather forecast in a computer. During the daytime, I research some information or write an essay with a computer. After coming back to the dormitory, I check my e-mail box and read the news in a computer. A computer is essential to my life, but I am not being able to make good use of it because of millions of functions in a computer. Therefore, I want to know about computers much more than now, especially how to use Microsoft Excel, to create web pages, and to make my computer functional.
First, I want to know the effective way to use Microsoft Excel. Last semester, I used Excel every week in my accounting class; however, it took so long time! Every time I did my homework, I stayed up late until 1 or 2 a.m. Although I had heard that there are other easy ways in Excel, I did not know how to do. Also, because I am going to major in business, I cannot escape from calculating numbers and making lists and graphs, so I need to utilize the Microsoft Excel!
Having own web page sounds very cool! In fact, I had tried to create my web pages about baseball, but I gave up it under the settings. Why? It was because the setting of a page was some kind of troublesome for me such as account, template, contents; nobody could teach how to do it. Now despite I have blogs, I really want my own web page and share the information I have.
Lastly my computer is very normal one that is not so functional. I already install Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Earth on my computer thanks to my teacher’s lecture, but I am sure that there are many more useful things that make my computer more functional. Therefore, by listening lectures carefully, I want to know about useful functions or software and their effects. Then I try and practice them in my computer as much as possible.
