Introduction: a.m. lawver 101

I have a lot of interests and ambitions, none of which were to ever create a blog... but here I am. I am not one to share my inner feelings on the internet, so luckily I am only forced to write about English. But, I do have a love-hate relationship with English. I love to write, I hate grammar rules. I love reading, I hate analyzing. I may not be the best at analyzing, particularly any form of poetry, but I think that I can decent at creating. I was a biology major when I came to this college, and I changed to English and Communication because I realized that my real talents lay there. I have always loved reading, whether it be books or magazines (Elle actually, believe it or not, uses a vocabulary that is fit for higher than a 4th grader...) and I can attribute that to the penchant that my dad had for good books. I have always really enjoyed Kurt Vonnegut, after I had picked up Bagombo Snuff Box from a table in my living room when I was in middle school. Joyce Carol Oates is another author I have continued to read and was introduced to her work in my AP English course in High School. I have taken advanced English since 7th grade and consider it to be my forte, despite the reluctance I have to its more finicky aspects. Hopefully after college I will learn to transform my love-hate relationship to a relationship filled with purely love.
