A Little Bit About Me .

My name is Jill Finney as indicated by this blog page, and I am currently in my second semester of my freshman year at the beautiful San Diego State University. Im sure you already know this though because I was a student of yours last semester. Despite this, Im still going to inform you of all the things that I hope to accomplish not only in class this semester, but also my goals for the rest of my academic career and beyond. Right now I am a Kinesiology major, and at this point I am thinking that I would love to become either a chiropractor or a physical therapist, however we will see where my journey takes me. This path that I am on right now was greatly influenced by my past experience with athletes and sports. I myself played softball, soccer, and volleyball for the majority of my life so being in an environment having to do with sports and athletes is of great comfort, interest, and passion for me. Due to the fact that I played sports I feel that those experiences made me who I am today, I love working with other people to establish common goals and I also enjoy helping others through encouragement to do their best, which I expect from myself as well. Academically I have always been a good student yet writing is definitely not one of my strong subjects nor is it my favorite. However, typically I can find myself writing a lot if its not specifically for academics. Emailing, texting, and even writing the old fashioned traditional letter are my main gateways to writing in my life. Typically I can find myself writing about millions of different topics, sometimes its just about my day or how school was or even the oh so common gossip. Other times I find myself writing as a way of expressing my emotions, more of a "diary" sort of writing; most of the time this occurs when Im feeling overwhelmed or especially sad or frustrated. Its a way for me to let some steam off in a sense. Writing is definitely in my life everywhere, all the time, but  I love using it more recreationally, outside of the classroom. As far as how I feel about my writings, I don't see myself as a writer or potential writer at all. Sometimes I just feel that my writing is just average, I mean Im not anything special I am just kinda here. Anyways I do look forward to this upcoming semester because I want to try and improve my writing because it does need work. Lets face it, Im am not perfect but with a little extra help and time put into my academic writings I can and will slowly improve my abilities throughout the semester. Thats what I wish to gain from being in this class and I know that it is totally completely possible and manageable. So heres to a fabulous semester of learning and improvement.
