A little more...

Hey,

My old neighbors have two kids who both went to TCU, who are almost like a brother and sister to me. They are 5 and 7 years older than me, so I got to see them go through college and loved it! I visited TCU for the first time my junior year in high school when I lived in Flower Mound, which is only about 45 minutes away from campus. I fell in love with it immediately. I really liked the size of the campus, and the individual attention and help that is available while at school.

If I were made Chancellor of TCU there wouldn't be a whole lot that I would change. I love the campus, the way things are run, and all the programs TCU and the student government organizes and offers. One thing that I think could use some improvement is the meal plan and the amount of places to eat on campus. I think there should be more variety and choices on the meal plan, rather than just the BLUU.

I believe a good teacher teaches in all different ways because students do have various learning styles. I think this really helps students to be able to learn the information better. I like it when teachers either use real life experiences and examples, or even let us do projects for real clients and use real world applications. Also, I think it is important for a teacher to love their job and love what they are teaching. Students can always tell if they care what they are talking about. An excited teacher usually makes a student more excited about learning. I think what makes a good student is actively participating in and out of the classroom and being excited about learning even if everything single thing we do in class isn't always fun.

If I could have dinner with three people they would be Laura Bush, my great grandfather, and Sarah Palin's daughter.

My friends and family always make fun of me because I am a perfectionist and like everything to be very organized! At first I usually come off as a reserved person, but I really am outgoing once you get to know me. Finally, my faith is a central part of my life. I love God and love learning more and more about the Bible.

I am taking this course because it's required, but I do think it will be very interesting. I had never heard of the writing associates before this class but I think it is a great idea and will be useful to everyone.

I have always been fairly good about keeping up with all the readings for my classes. I really like to read outside of class, but I wish I had time to read more than I do. I usually try to catch up on reading in the summer. I like to read a variety of fiction books, but I really do not like science fiction. I obviously write papers for school all the time, but other than that I text and email all the time. I also have to write reports frequently for my sorority. I really like to write and I journal almost every day, but I think it could use some improvement, like making everything flow better and sound more sophisticated or professional.

I think my blog reflects who I am, and I hope that as I get used to blogging more it will reflect who I am even better. I am a really laid back, easy going person and I think this blog shows that. I chose the polka dot background because I love polka dots and patterns. To be honest, I wasn't totally sure how blogging could be useful since I have never blogged before, but I really think this is a great way to get everyone involved and hear what everyone has to say.

I have read, understand, and agree to the syllabus for this class.
