Introductory Blog

I’m a country girl, born and raised; I enjoy the outdoors more than anything. I love playing volleyball and watching football. I was born Megan Rose Mendolla on January 27, 1994 to my amazing parents Tino and Joyce Mendolla.  I have a younger, really annoying brother, Matt, who is a junior in high school.  As much as he irritates me, he’s all I have, so I guess I have to love him. My heritage consists of Mexican, Native American, and Polish blood lines. I love my family and very few close friends to death; I would do anything for them.  I don’t trust easily anymore; I learned my lesson the hard way and I really can only depend on myself. I’m usually very outgoing and very down to earth; I’m very laid back with a lot of situations in my life.  I do, however, have a wild side.  I have 5 tattoos and 10 piercings total; I’m considered the “rebel child” in my family and my parents hate it. I’m a very caring person, too caring at times.

I am currently attending Silver Lake College; majoring in biology, minoring in chemistry.  I want to become a veterinarian because I love animals like crazy.  I am currently in the process of finishing the second semester of my sophomore year at SLC; I have four classes this semester consisting of 16 credits.  My classes include, Human Anatomy & Physiology, Organic Chemistry, Plant Biology, and World Literature. 

My World Literature professor is having us conduct this blog entry as we speak.  My expectations for this particular class consist of quite a few categories. I expect that there will be a lot of reading to attend to; our class syllabus already confirmed that expectation.  I also believe that we will be focusing on different cultures throughout the world and within the texts we read.  I am also assuming that we are going to be expected by our professor to write decent blog entries and enjoy the readings within the class; most importantly learn from them.

On the other hand, my personal goals for this World Literature class would be to keep up with the readings as much as possible.  Also, to try and get this whole blogging thing down; I’m a first time blogger, so bear with me.  I would also like to try and understand poetry a little bit better than what I do.  Poetry has always been a struggle for me, which I have a feeling I’m not the only one, but it would be nice to accomplish understanding it better.  Lastly, I would also personally like to become a better reader.
