Introduction

Dear Readers,

I would like to welcome you to my blog site.  I figured that this first post would be an appropriate place in which I could provide you with a little bit of information about me.  So here goes.

I am a senior at Berea College, preparing to finish my last year of undergraduate studies.  My majors are in German and Speech Communication.  I have a strong interest in learning new languages.  I speak German fluently and am conversational in French and Spanish.  This May, I will be graduating and moving on to do graduate studies in Communication Studies at the University of Tennessee.  It is my hope, that after I go through the graduate program and receive my master's, that I will be accepted into a doctoral program.

In my spare time, I dabble in...oh, so many things.  Let's see...I write and record music (recorded 3 albums), write poetry (allpoetry.com/wordwraith), do a little photography, web design, graphic design, draw, paint, and sculpt.  I rarely have the time to devote to each of these things that they deserve, but nevertheless, I find a great amount of joy in creating a work of art.

To move a little bit deeper in letting you know who I am, I find that my passion lies in studying human communication.  It is fascinating to me the myriad ways in which humans express themselves and how that changes depending on the culture.  Right now, I am in the midst of investigating the transnational feminist movement as it pertains to Afghanistan and India.  It is proving to be quite an undertaking, but very much worth the effort that I have put into it.

As to what you can expect from me, I will be blogging on a variety of things.  Anything from life events to international news.  I hope that you enjoy what I have to offer.

Until the sun sinks and rises again,

Aaron
