Hello,
My name is Chris Whitacre.
I am a freshman at ISU studying Agronomy in the Agriculture
department. I have recently decided to
major in this topic during winter break.
My first semester, I was originally studying Classical guitar in the
music department. But I disliked it and the 3 hour practices took away the fun of
playing guitar. I am from a small
village called Hudson, 12 miles north of Bloomington-Normal. So I have lived around here my whole life.
I have always been into music since around 5th
grade. When I first started learning the
guitar. I have been in a bunch of different
bands and have played a lot of different genres. Currently I am in two bands, Altar Goliath (Experimental
Metal Band) and The Mailbox Club (Experimental Blues, indie). And we play out a lot and its always super
fun.
I have
enjoyed reading since middle school. I
have read a lot of different series from the Seventh Tower Series by Garth Nix,
to the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling.
Currently I am on the 5th book of The Dark Tower series by
Stephen King. I have spent quite a bit
of time reading this series. I started
the first book last year. And I end up
reading about one page per two weeks (ha).
The series really interests me.
And I have been obsessed about it since I started it.
By
taking this class I hope to overall increase my English and writing
skills. I have always had trouble
writing papers for school. My first
research paper that I wrote my junior year were lacking in a lot of
information. And hopefully by taking
this class I will be able to increase my research skills and my writing
skills. So I can write better research
papers for the rest of my educational career.

Alt-G is soups coolio (ha). Harry Potter is also very interesting. Who is your favorite character? My favorite is definitely Ronnie the Bear or Professor Hardcastle McCormick!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about all of the practicing you have to do for the music department. I am starting to feel like practicing is becoming more of a hassle than it is rewarding and fun.
ReplyDeleteTwo bands! That's great! How do you find the time to do anything else outside of school? I have heard that the Dark Tower series is amazing but I have never read them. I've only read Stephen King's Salem's Lot my junior year in high school. Harry Potter is awesome though!
ReplyDeleteThat is seriously awesome that you are interested in music and reading! I love the Harry Potter series! I have read them all twice! and my parents are musicians, so i understand having to listen to practicing at all hours of the day and night. lol
