Hi, as the delicious url site quite possibly already informed you, my name is Samantha. If you'd like, you can call me Sam or, really, anything else you desire. I've been called Lyn, Kea, and Bob before as well. Just so long as I know you're referring to me, there shouldn't be a problem.
I'm enrolled in English 1B to cover general education required to possibly transfer to a University with an AA/AS degree. I've never taken an online class before, but I'm excited to, as it doesn't require I come to class at a set time period and is a great setup for getting things done early. I'm hoping this course will ending up being mostly unstressful but remain challening. This class will be taking during my fourth semester at Sierra college. In previous semesters I was enrolled in mostly Calculus, Physics, and Art courses. In the future, I hope to have classes based more around my major of interest: Forensics.
As for English in general, I've always had a problem with writing for more than a few pages on a subject without rambling, and I hope to improve that this year in essay writing. When it comes to reading, I'm not very picky and I'm excited to do all the short story reading we're going to be doing in the beginning of this course. I tend to like historical fiction and psychologically oriented books a great deal along with short stories that delve into symbolism and description.
Formal and corny as it may sound, I'm pretty jazzed to take my first online course and have written discussions over material, and I hope to hear from anyone and everyone whether they leave critique (good or bad) or just a comment.

Hi Samantha,
ReplyDeleteI hope this course is more challenging that stressful as well. Really. Any feedback will be appreciated. Forensics huh? What an interesting field--I bet you thrive on challenges and puzzles and mysteries! Me too. That's kind of what literary criticism has been for me--a kind of disecting of the literary elements if you will. Looking forward to reading more...
