How did I end up here? Anyone who knows me knows that I refer to myself as "technologically disabled". I really dislike dealing with computers, TVs, or any sort of technological device. If anything happens to go wrong with my computer I usually get frustrated and pout rather than try to fix it. Eventually, someone comes to my rescue and repairs it for me. So, I find it amusing that when I registered for English 201 I ended up in the section titled "Rhetorics of Network Culture". However, the more I have read about the class the more intrigued I have become. I have actually managed to convince myself that this class is going to be fun and I might learn something useful. Being that I am a dietetics major and hoping to go to medical school, it is unlike any course that I have taken. Overall, I think this should be a pretty interesting course.
I suppose I should introduce myself a little more for anyone who may run across this, and for the other students in my class. As I mentioned above my major is dietetics and my longterm goal is to go to medical school. I am a junior but unfortunately I won't be graduating until the fall of 2008. This is partly my fault because I did not declare a dietetics major until my sophomore year and I took it easy during my freshman year. However, I must emphasize that the amount of classes required for dietetics and premed are quite extensive. I also took many Spanish classes to prepare me for a month long trip to Costa Rica I took last summer with my best friend. We lived with a host family and volunteered in a food shelter and a kindergarten. It was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life and I hope to go back next winter break. I love to travel and see new places and experience life to the fullest. For this reason I sometimes question medical school. Do I really want to spend the best years of my life in school? Tied down for 9 or more months out of the year? Whenever I have these doubts I always come to the conclusion that it will really be worth it in the end and I know I wont regret it. Class is about to end and then I am off to research (hopefully not for too long). I must say this "blogging" is pretty exciting!
