Hey, I'm KaRita. I'm a 19 year old sophomore here at SIU and my major is Radio and Television. I enjoy writing and being with my friends the most. I hope to have a stable career in Radio and/or TV broadcasting in the near future! =)
ReplyDeleteMy name is chad beck. I am from Springfield, IL, and am currently a senior at SIU. I just changed my major to advertising. My interests are fishing, watching Cardinal games, eating, and pretty much anything outdoors. I really have no idea what I would like to do after college, maybe write for a magazine, or work at a television station, who knows. Perhaps I should figure that out...
ReplyDeleteI'm an English major with a creative writing emphasis. I'll be graduating in December and moving back to the Chicago area.

ReplyDeleteHello everyone my name is Timothy O'Laughlin and I am a transfer student here at SIU. I attended Richland Community College in Decatur, Illinois and graduated with my Associate in Art. I specialized in manual photography and have a darkroom back home. I am a cinematography major and I am also getting my minor in photojournalism. This is my first time in Carbondale so I am still getting lost frequently. I am in this class because I got a 22 in the English section on my high school ACT and I needed a 23 to get into the basic journalism writing course. However, I am glad to be in this class since I've been out of school for about eight months and have not been doing an extensive amount of writing! That's about it for now so good luck everyone.
ReplyDeleteI am originally from Washington DC, and moved to Illinois halfway through high school. I am an English major. I am thinking about teaching after I graduate but I am not sure. I currently live outside of Carbondale and work at the Dept. of Veterans' Affairs in Marion. I enjoy spending a lot of time outdoors.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jason Byhring and as of now, I am an undecided major. I am torn between Computer Technologies and Journalism. I am taking this class as a prerequisite for later journalism classes and am interested in what I will be learning in this course. As for my main interests, I enjoy music, fishing, and the outdoors (exploring, hiking, rock climbing). I play the drums and pretty much any stringed instrument. All in all, I hope to get a lot out of this class and acquire the necessary tools I need to continue in the field of journalism.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Meghan Pyatt, I am from a small town thirty miles from Carbondale called Pinckneyville. I am a freshman and my major is English Education. I am a cheerleader here at SIU. I work at the Busar's office on campus.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Kendra Lantrip and I'm a transfer student from JALC. Most of my friends call me Keena, but I'll answer to both names. I'm a Secondary Education/English major and starting SIUC as a Junior. I was born in the Philippines, where I spent the first few years of my life. I now live in Carbondale with my good friend, Kristen. I've worked at Buffalo Wildwings for a year now as a waitress, and it's a lot of fun. I don't drink and I attend church in Goreville, Illinois and am very active in my faith and my relationship with Jesus. Nice to meet ya:)
ReplyDeleteHello class my name is Nolan Ragan and I have transferred from SIC. I am in the secondary education program and I'm studying to be a literature teacher.

I am also new to town although I'm getting used to the large city setting very nicely. I wish everyone the best of luck with this class.

ReplyDeleteHi my name is Kathleen. My major is English Education and I am a sophmore. I love running, the outdoors, art, and writing. I am currently training for the Chicago marathon in Oct. I like meeting new people of all different backgrounds and like to be culturally diverse. I am a mutt of : Chinese, Japanese, Greek, German, Filipino, and Spanish...but I mostly identify with my Chinese culture. For my career I am somewhere between creative writing and teaching English. Last year I was an Exercise Science major. I was dead set on becoming a running coach but second semester I had an awesome English teacher that changed my perspective on writing and English. I consider myself a friendly person and laid back so if anyone wants to talk just holler haha

ReplyDeleteGreetings, with a late entry. My name is Dan Bleyer. Dan is short for nothing. I am a senior at SIU, but, being the miracle man that I am, I will not graduate for another two years. I grew up on a farm east of Mt. Vernon and will forever miss that lifestyle. If a girl talks me into it, I may find success; otherwise I plan to be poor and wander the Serengeti.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Mallory Duran, and I am currently a sophomore at Southern Illinois. I am originally from Colorado, and I miss the beautiful mountains daily. However, the cornfields and sunsets in the mid-west are growing on me. Softball was and is the draw to Southern Illinois for myself; I play center-field for the University and absolutely love being a part of the team. However, they do not let you simply play a sport and not attend class, so I do plan on graduating with a English Education major. My wish is to teach high school.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ryan Meredith, I am a transfer student from Kaskaskia College. My home town is Breese IL. I attended Mater Dei Catholic Highschool and then moved on to recieve general credits at Kaskaskia. I am now entering my junior year at siuc where I am majoring in public relations. I look forward to a successful semester at siu.
