Hello anyone that cares.

My name is Georden Burton. I'm as experienced in English as a caveman would be with computers. I think some things about it are interesting, but mostly I find a lot of it to be boring. That lead to me sleeping in most of my English classes throughout high school. However, I still acquired good grades. My main problem with it would probably be that they're a lot of intelligent things that could be said on a subject, but if somebody doesn't say them with proper grammar most people will not respect it, and my grammar isn't the greatest. I am in this class though so hopefully that changes. My background information will probably be brief because I was never good at the whole introducing myself thing. I was born and raised, and currently live in Columbus. That's the capital of Ohio for you out of staters. This is my first quarter at OU due to some unfortunate circumstances. I'm sure you'll learn why later. Now that I'm here I plan on making the best of it though. I don't really know what I'm supposed to be writing about though so lets get back to English. What I expect out of this class is to broaden my horizons and overall intelligence through reading and writing about the material we're assigned. Especially the writing part because I used to bring my essays up to my teacher to proof read after every paragraph in high school to make sure they were okay. I'm a very opinionated person and would love writing if I didn't have to worry about all the technical aspects of it. So I'm looking forward to being able to sharpen my writing skills. I enjoy reading a good book also, but probably won't enjoy it that much at this school, being surrounded with all the tempting "distractions". Overall I'm hoping this class will be interesting and that I'll soak up as much knowledge as possible that will be useful outside of it. That seems to be the case so far.
