I'm Posting This for Brian

Here's Brian's blog post for this week:

I am studying economics. I enjoy economics because I like money, so therefore I want to learn how it works and possibly how to make more of it. I also like economics because it combines math with the way things work in the world. I also hope that it can lead me to a job where I will be able to meet and socialize with many people, while combining my other academic interests such as math and psychology.

I am from Queensbury New York, and it is beautiful there. There is much to do all year round as we have a lake nearby and many mountains to hike and snowboard. It is a very nice town and area but I am sure it is much like any other town around the country.

I really enjoy hockey. It is my favorite sport to play and to watch. My favorite team is the New York Rangers. I also love to play lacrosse and just have fun. I also am a huge fan of the the New York Giants and watch them religiously every Sunday.

I have had pretty good experiences with getting feedback from any of my work. I really haven’t had any bad experiences that I can remember. Every time I have gotten feedback at St. Lawrence, whether it be professors or by students, they have always taken the time to show me what I can do better and have shown me what I have down wrong as well. This helps me recognize what I am doing for the next time so I don’t keep falling into the same mistakes.

Honestly I really do not know of any poets that I really admire. I just have not had really enough experience in poetry or remember any poems that I really liked. Other than musicians who I kind of do consider poets I don’t have anything to say. As far as musicians go I really do enjoy Jonathon Davis (Korn), Jim Morrison (The Doors), Maynard James Keenan (Tool), Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Lil’ Wayne, and Roger Waters (Pink Floyd). I like all of these musicians because of the emotion that they put into their lyrics and you can read what they are feeling without even having to listen to the music and it can be really powerful stuff.

I obviously don’t have any expertise in poetry but what I think is good about poetry is that it allows people to express how they are feeling in a fun sounding way. I also think that poetry has lead to the greatness of music.

Honestly I hope to learn a new way on how to express my ideas and feelings in possibly a better way but definitely in a different way. I also hope to actually learn about poems and poets because I like to learn new things, and this is a topic that I no next to nothing about.
