I believe introductions are in order. It is only proper to introduce one's self...as said by Katsumoto in The Last Samurai (2003), "Not to introduce yourself is considered extremely rude, even among enemies."
My name is Meg. I am a junior at Cazenovia College. I am currently working towards my BA in Fine Arts (Visual Communcations). My studies are centered mostly around graphic design, web design, and illustration. I am passionate about the comic book industry and visual art in general.
While attending the college, I became a resident advisor to the student body in my second year and I also take part in the campus' Project REACH program and recently was made a member of the CSTEP program in the Learning Center next door.
Before college I graduated high school with an Advanced Regents Diplomia from New York State and I am a proud member and graduate of the Upward Bound Program.
I come from a small little neck of the woods in New York called The North Country. I'm about a stone throw from Canada, with family on both sides. I grew up and worked on a farm, taught myself astronomy, and I am a die hard Trekkie.
...so what the hell does any of this have to do with the ideals of this blogging community? Certianly the fact I can speak Klingon just as well as I speak French is not worth a grain of salt around here, lol. I bet someone just flinched at the very thought that the forementioned statement could be true. (It is sadly. And I speak Jaffa, Ancient, and fragments of really bad egypition and latin...)
I am an outspoken psycopath about the education system...mostly an activist for the prep college programs that help high school students go to college. I also tend to wage a verbal war when it comes to student aid, inflation in college tutitions, loans, etc....because from where I am standing, our goverement seems to have forgotten that educating it's children should be at the top of the to do list. Personally, I cannot wait for President Bush to leave office...and I cross my fingers and hope that there will be someone worthly of my first vote for president next year.
As a Resident Advisor I have a different point of view of the student body on our campus. Of course there is no way I plan on sharing any gossip stories about people on campus. And I didn't have much to say about being an RA besides how little I got to sleep until the events of Virgina Tech. When I get the chance I will be gleaning off my personal website blog an article I wrote concerning gun policy on campus that was brought on by a new story I read on Yahoo.
I am also turning into a bit of a "Green Freak" as I like to call it. Those of us slipping under the heel of making a greener world and ending waste...etc. Plently to talk about there.
And as for Star Trek. Oh my god. I was brought up on the morals and ethics of three Star Trek series. I some times compair the ideals of Gene Rodenberry to that of the modren world and how I feel we could benefit from them.
For future reference, and this I'm going to probably be talking a lot as I get my passport...I am planning to acquire dual citizenship between the US and Canada.
I guess that I all I have for now. Classes start tomorrow!
