hello! :) you can see my name above my avatar. besides, i'm from ukraine. that's all what is interesting about me :)
Hello! :) My real name obviously is not gemini20, but of course, that is how you can refer to me on here.....lol. I am pursuing a bachelor degree to be a high school English teacher (I'm in my third year of college, and I have 2 more years to go), but I want to be certified for K-12 grade in teaching English. I am a Christian. I have trusted that Jesus' death on the cross was the payment for my sin (bad things I do) and that trusting only in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and asking God to save me by trusting in Jesus alone(and not in the works I do, going to church, or baptism) are enough to get me to Heaven after I die. I believe that Jesus rose again (defeating death) after He died and was buried. I realize that this is a literature discussion (and not a religious discussion forum), so literature thoughts are the topics that I will generally stick to in this forum, and I am not going to be hounding people about my religious beliefs since this is not the place for it unless people just want to ask questions about stuff. However, this is an introduction portion so I like to tell people I am a Christian since that is what I want to be remembered for wherever I go. I welcome advice that people might have for me as far as English certification, study, and teaching methods. Thanks!! Hope ya'll have a good day!!! :)
Welcome one & all!

Hi! I'm 20 years old. I am currently studying English Literature as my major in University (2 more years to go), with plans to continue into Grad school. Besides reading and writing, my biggest passion in life is travelling - I've been all over Europe, Africa, and the US. I am a vegan (well, lactose intolerant vegetarian), ballet dancer, scorpio, atheist, Norweigan (family is from there), and runner. I also love fine wine, the outdoors, and spending time with my family. My favorite bands include Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, and Bob Dylan. My favorite movie is The Godfather (Al Pacino = love). Favorite authors include Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, Chaucer, Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, and mannnny others. And I pretty love life. Sooo that's me in a nutshell! <3

Heya,
Found this site when I googled "classic literature". A few weeks back I was searching for a forum site just like this, and now I've found the perfect one. =)
So introduction...
I'm turning 17 this June 23rd. I do independent home-study in Hong Kong which is kinda rare. Hopefully, I'll finish high school at the end of this year. I have loved reading ever since I started reading books. But since I started my first year of secondary school, I started to love literature. One of my fav books are Catcher in the Rye, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Notebook, Cannery Row, and quite a lot more. I mostly read classic lately. Although I don't mind any genres.
Currently reading: As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
