Let me introduce myself...

Salutations, blog visitor. I am a new addition to this lovely school oriented survival blog. I'd prefer not to disclose my name (though you will find it eventually seeing how the evolution of the Internet has destroyed any notion of privacy), but you can call me Train. I will mainly be editing posts made by the established author, but from time to time, if I feel it be appropriate, will publish some of my own personal work and insight.

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.
