Hello.
My name is Lauren vonville. I am going to be a fourth year student and am studying english. Originally I was a restaurant management major and I plan on going to culinary school after college. I want to be a restaurant owner, chef, food critic, and paid traveler! I was a Gahanna Lion and now an OU bobcat. I am 21 years old and have lived in Gahanna for about 19 years!

Since I've changed my major to english, I have now experienced both basic tier english classes and major english classes. I have taken many classes in both writing and reading. I have taken classes specifically for research & essay writing and classes for poetry writing & textual analysis and also reading survey courses. My major strength when it comes to writing is relaying and conveying the information that I have researched or learned from other authors. This has also been considered one of my weaknesses in writing; because I really enjoy relaying other peoples works, sometimes I don't fully focus on what a prompt is asking about the tone or text of of a piece of writing. Lets just say... Reading is all weakness for me (well, for the most part). I've never been a big reader and I honestly don't enjoy it that much unless it's about cooking, chefs, or the food industry. (ya, i like reading magazines...)

My expectations for this class are high in respects to learning alot about sex, love, and relationships in mass media. I also expect to learn alot more about rewriting. I can already see that this class is going to be filled with assignments and projects that will better me in the english world.
