Introduction

I am creating this blog for my Writing Through Media English class. Ten times throughout the semester my teacher will post an assignment and I am going to respond in about 300 words through this blog to convey my thoughts on the matter.  The assignments are going to focus on analyzing things we view in class such as images or movies, as well as personal things like my facebook profile pic.  I will also be incorporating other kinds of text into my blog such as images or videos that should help to spice up my potentially boring blog.

I'm going to be doing this blog throughout the fall semester of my sophomore year at the University of Florida!  (hopefully my classes don't get in the way of watching some great Florida football in The Swamp!) Like any kid these days I spend a lot of my time, probably too much time, on the internet but I have never had my own blog let alone spent much time even reading other people's blogs.  So I'm excited to see if my blog turns out well or if I even do it correctly.  I'm really hoping that I'm not gonna be this guy at some points during the semester, although I very well could be.


I spend most of my time on the internet on three sites, espn, facebook, and youtube so naturally I am most looking forward to our blog assignments evaluating my profile picture and also analyzing a youtube video.  I haven't really gotten many specifics on our youtube blog assignments but I am hoping that I get to pick whatever videos I want so I can include some of my favorites from today such as the double rainbow video, the bed intruder song, or the leprechaun video, which you can check out by clicking on this link Leprechaun in Mobile, Alabama.
