"Great artists are people who find ways to be themselves in their art. Any sort of pretension induces mediocrity in art and life alike." -Margot Fonteyn

First Entry Blogging Ever!

Hi! I am Alex and I am a freshman at TCU. Moving from WARM Delray Beach, Florida has been an incredibly challenging but amazing experience. I wanted to move away where I knew no one and coming to TCU was the best choice I have ever made in my life. I chose TCU because of their incredible dance program. It is also one of the only dance schools that would allow me to double major with biology. I have been dancing for three years and I am a modern major. Being able to study both of my passions in such great programs has been an unimaginable blessing. In my own little dream world I want to dance professionally for a company for one or two years then go to medical school in California or Florida (or anywhere I am accepted to!). Ultimately I want to become a pediatric orthopedic surgeon; I know big dreams right….
I love anything to do with the water and I miss the beach immensely. I surf whenever Florida is graced with decent waves and I used to wakeboard competitively with my brother. My brother, Andrew, is seventeen and my best friend in the entire world. My family is awesome. I love music. Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, The Clash, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Bob Marley, and Jimi Hendrix are only a couple of my favorite artists but my list could go on for a life time. If I could meet with any three people it would be Martha Graham, Bob Dylan, and Robert Plant. I have a crush on Robert Plant that is kind of ridiculous. I fell in love after watching the most amazing live Led Zepplin DVD ever! Even though I am not an English major writing is one of my favorite things to do, along with reading. I love British writers and I am excited to be introduced to a plethora of new authors. I have to admit I am beyond obsessed with Harry Potter and sadly have fallen into the addiction to Twilight. I hope to become a better writer throughout this course and to learn about new authors and ideas. Hope this was right, I've never "blogged" before haha.
I have read, understand, and agree to the syllabus for ENGL 20503.
