Intro

My name is Phillip Halliday and I am from San Antonio, Texas. I am currently a junior Advertising/Public Relations Major here at TCU with a Business minor. I have one sister, who will be graduating high school next year and most likely attending TCU in the fall. I love being outside any chance I get and spend nearly every free moment of the fall hunting in south texas. Im also a music fanatic, San Antonio Spurs fan, and fly fishing enthusiast.

From my high school in san antonio a large number of kids attend TCU every year, so my interest in the university began through word of mouth. To be completely honest I was dead set on going to Texas A&M but I never made it off of the wait list. I was somewhat disappointed when I had to go with my second choice, TCU, but looking back I feel that I could not have made a better decision.

I am looking forward to getting to know everyone through this course, in the classroom and through our various blogging assignments. Also, Im looking forward to becoming familiar with the work of many of the key american writers. I chose this class over all of the other english courses because I had no previous knowledge concerning the history of american literature and it is something that I find very interesting.

Other than books and reading assignments from different classes, I also enjoy reading during my free time. I am currently reading "Asegai" By Wilbur Smith. My dad introduced me to the Wilbur Smith series and his captivating adventures have had me hooked since.

In school, my writing is mostly limited to my english related classes and the hundreds of text messages i send every week. Writing essays in the past is something I have always dreaded, but I feel like this blogging assignment will be a cool new alternative to long research papers. Writing has never been my strongest asset but it is definitely something that I have been working on to improve.

My blog is going to be pretty chill and laid back, I plan on really personalizing my blog so that my classmates can get a chance to get to know me. Im excited to start begin this project and Im eager to get to know my classmates and take in all of their ideas.
