Introduction

Hello everyone. I'm Chris Trefero, and I'm taking the Communication Studies class. Outside of academics, I have numerous interests, including programming, music, and gaming. The three of them tend to go well together as well, but I've yet to do anything professional with anything I enjoy doing. Anyway, I also enjoy watching a good show here and there, like Leverage, Burn Notice, and a slew of cartoons. Then again, who doesn't like cartoons?

On a side note, I enjoy writing. I take pride in keeping decent grammar in all mediums, as well as checking my spelling if I'm even partially unsure of how to do so appropriately through the use of search engines and online dictionaries. I have informally been granted the title of "Grammar Nazi," something I wear like a badge of honor. I've started on a couple actual writing projects, although I doubt I'll get anything published in the near future. However, I think I'll be able to get some attention on one work I've begun, so that'll be a plus. I'm still in the preliminaries on the writing work I'll get the "attention" on, but I hope to have all that sorted out within the week.

On programming, I even do customized skins for the gaming platform known as "Steam." Once I get the screenshots taken, they'll be uploaded to my DA account for the appropriate audiences to be able to view, although I can assure everyone that the content is child-friendly (although some people wouldn't like it anyway). I honestly find it fun going through the seven thousand lines of code in the few layout and style files I modify for the custom skin, but that's just me.

I guess that really wraps up my short introduction here. I hope to enjoy this class, as I hope with all classes I take at Sierra. I also hope to get some sort of job in the near future, and I keep doing what I can do get said job. Anyway, I look forward to getting to know some of you as well as taking this class!

  1. Hi Christopher.

    It's good to have such person as you are in our class. I'm little bit envy you because of your grammar skills, I hope some day I will be able to make the same statement as you have made in your post.

    My only question is how can you combine to be a gamer and a diligent student?

    1. Time management is key there, really. I've learned through trial and error how to manage my time effectively while still being able to enjoy what free time I can make for myself. Ultimately, I put schoolwork ahead of gaming in general, so I always make time for the work I need to do.
