I have, like the other author, have been at Troy for two years now. I was a full IB/ Troy Tech candidate, but I decided to drop the IB title going into my junior year because I view the rigor of the International Baccalaureate system as synonymous with slow and painful torture (not to mention the fact that IB tests cost a small fortune these days).
I hope to major in Political Science and English, while hopefully later be accepted to law school, contrasting with the other author, thus I hope to reveal another side to Troy - not oriented around the excesses of science and mathematics we are known for. I believe that Troy stands for more than what its widely associated with; though others can probably argue the same for their Alma mater, I believe Troy has a true eclectic mix of students that creates a unique and wonderful atmosphere that results in prosperous alumni. With that said though, I would like to utilize this blog as a means of pointing out some of my anxieties I have developed as I've enrolled and gone to Troy.
Seeing that I will be speaking to you all in the up and coming months, I'd like to share a bit of background information about myself: I am an avid reader. I enjoy engaging in political conversations and I consider myself fairly liberal (to use the term loosely). Unlike many of my peers, I enjoy every part of English class, from literary analysis to rhetoric. I have a list of clubs and activities that I could divulge, but as it may bore you, I will refrain. On a more personal note, I have a penchant for indie rock groups and vintage clothing. I am an artist, specializing in acrylic painting. I have played a total of 5 or 6 instruments in my life, yet never long enough to truly develop a passion for the art form (perhaps because any musical inclinations I've had have been eclipsed by my visual desires).
I look forward to bestowing my knowledge about the black, red and white campus I have learned to love through all the blood, sweat, and tears upon this audience.
