Hi there, my name is Eva Gabrielle Thompson. I was born in Galveston, Texas, although since then I have moved more than eight times. I don't really have a home town because I have moved so much, but I spent most of my childhood in an east Texas town called Tyler.
My mom and Dad divorced when I was three, and both are remarried. My parents are both insanely intelligent in completely opposite ways. My Dad is a computer programmer and an all around people person, while my mom is a surgical pathologist (a very special doctor who works with diagnosing cancers). It is because of her job that I developed a phobia of disjointed blood.
She had to pick me up from school early once, so she brought me to her office to fiddle with the computer while she finished up some lab work. Of course, being curious and unable to follow directions, I eventually wandered into her lab and saw a sight that scarred me to this day. There were all these jars full of weird colored liquids, body parts, bags of blood, just like all those freaky laboratories in horror movies. Needless to say, I never went back to her lab, no matter how long I had to wait.
Moving on, since Dad is a computer programmer, I'd like to believe I'm pretty computer savvy. I was in Jr. Tech in my high school, which was the club that created and maintained the school website. I also took yearbook and worked with photoshop a lot. I still know I have a lot to learn and am so excited to start this class!
My trinity e-mail is ethomps4@trinity.edu
Yeah, there are three other ethomps’s. Weird, huh?
Hi, Eva,
ReplyDeleteGood grief, what a scary experience! No wonder you have a phobia about it - I would, too.
Welcome to our class - I really look forward to working with you this semester.
Ms. Belisle
Goodness! I hate the idea of blood in general. It gives me the heebie jeebies. Luckily this class does not have life scar-ing events in it. You'll just learn lots of cool things! Don't forget to proofread before you submit your blogs!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about putting " I have known one of the girls in my class since I was five years old" as my secret fact.:] I am glad you consider Tyler your hometown.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea your dad was a computer programmer- I don't think I ever met him, so that isn't really a surprise. That's really cool that you managed your school's website. Oh, and that you worked on your school's yearbook too!
