Hi Class,
My name is David Kimzey. This is my fourth year at SLU and I couldn't be more happy with it. I'm currently trying to get a math degree, but have no idea what I want to do with it. I've been in St. Louis my entire life so someday I hope to travel to see other places.
Honestly I was a little bit concerned when I signed up for this class, just because I am one of the worst readers ever. It was always easier for me to see a story come to life first-hand through visualy seeing it, rather than watching it unfold through reading text. So without a doubt, my goal for the class is that I hope my reading skills will be a little bit better after this class.
There are times when I believe silence can be good and bad. Silence can be a great thing if you are hoping to focus on a single aspect. For myself, I feel like the only way I can efficiently study is to have complete silence, just because I get easily distracted with the slightest noise or with any other minor distraction. But other than for study or for sleep, I don't think I would ever want to "hear" silence. It is a good feeling to hear the world around you everyday.
For speaking, I feel like I am much more confident telling a story than I am reading one. I like the idea of being able to communicate a story with people and sharing your ideas on the subject.
I agree with the idea of "hearing silence". I definitely can't sleep when it's almost too quiet in my room. Silence is strange in that way, it can seem overwhelming (especially in really large spaces, like the insides of museums or just huge rooms).
ReplyDeleteIt is common for college students to not have any idea where they are headed with their college degrees. I am not sure where I will end up either, but I hope to travel just like you. Wherever you end up, or to wherever you travel to, I hope you have great stories to communicate to people.
