Who am I and why did I sign up for this course?

Who: I am a rising senior at Mercer University. I am currently studying International Business. To fulfill the study abroad requirement, I studied abroad last March in Brazil for two weeks. I fell in love with traveling internationally, so I decided to study abroad in Wales for four months last fall. During this past spring semester, I signed up for my third trip, which I just returned from. It was a faculty lead group to the Czech Republic. While in Wales, I decided that I wanted to pursue international law, and I am currently studying for the LSAT.

Why: I wanted to take this online course so I would have more time to read and enjoy the required text. I knew if I took this course in the fall I would not have been able to spend a great deal of time on it.

Expectations: I am hoping to acquire a better understanding of poetry and literary writings during this time period. I have only had two other english courses in college, so I hope that I will be able to understand what we are asked to do. I am nervous about taking the course online, but I hope that it will turn out to be a good decision.
