Hello Everyone!
This is the first time I write. I'd like to introduce myself since I received a message inviting me to say "hi." Well, I am a Shakespearean at heart. It's funny that I say that now, because if you would have asked me this before last semester that I took it for the first time at school, I would have told you I was afraid to take the class. :confused: But from the moment I read one of Shakespeare's works, I was hooked. I told my instructor, "I think I'm going to like this Shakespeare guy. I'm staying in the class." Lo and behold, I am still taking upper level Shakespeare classes today.
I am an English major trying to attain my Bachelor's degree. I became an English major because I enjoyed grammar. However, I found out that English majors needed to read, compare, and analyze literature. Well, I was in for the ride of my life. :banana:
So, it was a little nuts in the beginning getting used to all that reading, especially when I wasn't a reader at heart. However, I took the plunge and went for it. Well, here I am still plucking away and almost done. :nod: I plan to teach middle school or high school, but when I mention it, people think I'm coo-coo. :goof: So, I'm still deciding. But, just so you know...my life is going to school and loving it.
My hobbies are the outdoors. I love being in nature and embracing every aspect of it. I love going hiking, fishing, camping, and exploring the outdoors during the summer months. I am sort of an adventurer and love to travel.
I'm also a people person. I am active in clubs involving social, leadership, and honor organizations. Currently, I am president of AYLSS (As You Like Shakespeare Society) and we go to many of Shakespeare's plays. We also coordinate an annual Spring Tea and do a call for papers for our annual journal where students have the opportunity to get a publication if they are selected. So, that's the Shakespeare side of me. :thumbs_up
Aside from that, I am a tutor and help university students in all levels of writing and grammar. I work directly one-to one or do study groups as well. I enjoy working and helping students. That is a passion of mine that I find very rewarding.
Well, that's my intro. It was nice meeting you. :p

Hi chef, Welcome to the forum! You are welcome to ask any question related to the forum but you should read the FAQ first because it might help you and if not, then you can ask questions in "Literature Network" subforum.

Hey everybody, I've been here for a couple of days and posted a few times, but I thought that introducing myself wouldn't be a bad idea.
I'm a college freshman planning on majoring in writing. I like writing, reading, art, and music. I play the guitar and the lute. I like primarily Celtic and Celtic-inspired music. I like The Lord of the Rings. I am currently writing a fantasy/speculative fiction sort of novel, just finished the rough draft a month ago.
That'll do, I suppose. See you all around the forum!
