About Me

My name is Blair Magee, and I am from Austin, Texas. I am currently a Sophomore and my major is Advertising/Public Relations with a minor in Spanish at Texas Christian University. This is my first year at TCU. I spent my freshman year at the University of Mississippi. After being at Ole Miss for a year, I realized that it was not the school for me and ended up applying and transferring to TCU. I choose TCU because my younger sister would also be a freshman in the fall and I wanted to move back to Texas to be closer to my hometown Austin. I absolutely love TCU and could not have made a better decision to transfer here! Besides school I love hanging out with friends, working out, skiing, fishing, going out, movies, tubing and wake boarding on Lake Austin or Lake LBJ!
If I was the chancellor at TCU, the one thing I would change about our campus is the student parking situation. There is absolutely no where for students to park if they have to drive to campus because they live off campus. It has become a huge problem because students are not only getting outrageous parking tickets they are also usually late for class as well. So by creating more parking for students we would stray away from these problems. I choose to take this class because I needed a Litterary Traditions credit and also I have heard great things about this class through your previous students. After taking this course I hope to have a greater appreciation for litterature and find more enjoyment in it. I do enjoy to read on my free time, but most of the books I do read are not school related. So I hope to broaden my genre of literature. I also enjoy reading a lot of magazines and interesting news articles that deal with topics that interest me. I do somewhat enjoy writing. In school I would rather write a take home long essay then take a written or multiple choice test. My typical writing consists of a lot of informal writing such as journaling, facebook, text messaging, and emails. A lot of this writing is technology based because we are now in a culture and society that revolves completely around computers and cell phones. Rather then writing a letter most people choose to email or send a text message. Now that technology is becoming more advanced we are now able to access emails and send emails through our phones, which is making writing out letters less likely.
The Message I plan to send out through my blog is open and inviting. I choose vibrant colors such as lime green because it conveys my personality, which is easy going and that my posts are welcome to everyone. I believe that my vibrant energy and willingness to learn in this class will be portrayed through this blog. I am interested and excited about all I can learn from this course.
I have read and agreed to the terms and conditions on the course syllabus.
