Remembe me, I could be famous someday

Hello Class

I am Meredith Staley obviously I go to WSU TC with all of you. I also take online classes because I find it easier to actually attend a class when I can do it at my own will instead of by a schedule. I am a night person, so my one and only class that I have on campus is with you fine people.

I am a literature major, which I am assuming given the level of the class, most of you are as well. Please forgive my blog postings from here on; though I am a English Lit major I have terrible grammar and spell check only does so much. This is my weakness in my field and something I am improving with every new class. I love to read and I enjoy really getting into a book and becoming a part of the story for a short period of time. The one thing I hate about taking literature classes is that being required to read a book isn't quite as enjoyable as picking one up on your own. Also, I find that often I am required to read authors I do not enjoy. There are very few on that list so far, but as is stands I would rather poke my eyes out with a blunt object than have to read Hemmingway or Virgina Woolf. I am also not a huge fan of Hawthorne, but that is because I find his way of writing particularly hard to follow. I aspire to one day be in front of a classroom teaching the things I am learning now to prospective literature majors in a college class room one day. My ultimate goal is to one day become the Dean of Literature at whatever college I end up teaching for.

As for my life personally. I am 23, and currently living with my mother. I moved in with her last year to keep her company after my parents married for 36 years divorced. I have 2 kids, and by kids I mean pets. One cat named Lady and a lab/chow mix named Akira. I work as a dealer at the Crazy Moose casino and I absolutely love it, it is the perfect job to get me through everyday living until I can finally start my career. At the end of next school year I should finally finished my bachelors degree and from there I intend to go to Portland State University to continue my Masters and my Doctorate.

It is my personal belief that you can never truly know someone unless you know the little/simple things. So I will leave you with what I believe to be the most important and simple thing you can know about a person: My favorite color is silver.
