Week 1- Intro

Well, I came to SXU mainly because it was close to home- as much fun as staying on campus is, I certainly prefer being able to see my family, and my dog Ginger as well (she is adorable!)  I heard that the education program was really great as well, and so I decided to apply to come here, because I want to try being a teacher at the secondary level some day (little kids...I can't work with them) in the departments of either english or art...preferably art of course.  And I love the campus...it's so much nicer than that of my brother's school (he goes to IIT for archetecture) and I love having the smaller sized campus.

So far, I will stay here and graduate, unless something goes drastically wrong in the future...or I decide to switch to a different set of majors and they weren't available here.  I also am really getting to know alot of interesting people here on campus, and so I hope to get to know them all better!

And...that's really about it.  Oh, and some last stuff about me...
I've been in a LOT of art classes...from my old school I've been in Intro to art, Drawing 1, Drawing 2, Color photography, Black and white photo, ceramics 1, Illustration, painting, Jewelry, and AP Art...yeah.  But I'm really looking forward to this year! 

Also, this photograph was taken last year at a camp I used to go to in Indiana.  It's an old chimney in the middle of this giant forest that is really beautiful!
