Where do I begin. My name is Rachel Richey, but I go by Amanda which is my middle name. I am from Benbrook, Texas and have stayed in Texas my whole life. I am a Sophomore at TCU and am a Nursing major.
I am in this course because my it is required in my major. I do hope though that what I will get out of this course is a new and better way of writing and thinking of new ways to express my thoughts and feelings into words.
Me being a young adult, I am very fond of texting as my boyfriend also goes to TCU so we both never really have time to talk on the phone. Since my mother works at TCU, we usually communicate through e-mail when she is at work in case I need to tell her or something and vice versa. My writing definitely has room for improvement and i'm not very creative and clear in my writing so i'm hoping that this course will help push me to the next level in my writing skills.
The type of argument I believe my blog is creating is that myabe some of the things I say or some of the videos and pictures I put up later on will not make everyone happy There are going to be some classmates that completely disagree with the things I will say and do. The colors on my blog really represents how I feel about myself. I'm a fun and very down to earth person, but on the outside, i'm very very shy. I'm not loud and outspoken but more quiet. When I meet someone new, I tend not to say very much or talk loud enough just because of my self-esteem. Online though, I feel prefectly fine typing out exactly what i'm feeling though. All of my choices with my font size, colors, images, songs, and videos shows you as the person I really am on the inside. My participation is very limited in class discussions. I always feel like no one cares really about what I have to say except for the professor, so I usually keep to myself.
Since i'm more of myself on the internet instead of in person around people I don't know, I am more honest and will write down my own opinion on a topic. I can be a bit blunt and harsh with the things I write and I just want to say that I do not mean to offend anyone's ideas, it's jsut that if you ask me for my opinion, I will tell you the truth.
Even though I am not registered in this class, I will say though that I do understand and agree with the terms of the course syllabus since I saw it in the classroom this morning. I understand how I get the grades I will receive from each assignment and how my grade is weighted.
Have a good day!

At first looking at your blog i got the sense that you were a very suttle person. The colors were very friendly, but not to loud which made me think that you had a simple personality to you. Once i read your introduction i took that you are really sincere about opening up and expressing yourself in this writing process. You were very open in your introduction and i did get the sense that you would like to be more open and less shy. I thought your writing made you seem like a very open and outspoken person. You revealed alot about yourself in the introduction. Your page almost fits your description of yourself its plain, not to plain but more calm at first appearance, but when you really get a chance to read it you see that it has a lot more to it. I like the purple to.
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the class! I'm glad that you'll be able to join us-- I enjoyed reading your letter of introduction and look forward to reading more of your writing throughout the semester. You self-analysis is astute and I encourage you to share your thoughts and ideas in the classroom as everyone would benefit from your critical thinking skills.
