Sheila M. Torres 801-06-8404 May 2012 My Life as an English Major Being an English Major could translate into almost anything. An English Major can go into teaching with some training or one can go into creative writing and with some minor extra training, you could probably do some serious editor work, blogging or … Continue reading The last post?! (For class at least, I’ll still use this blog for other posts…)

Hommage to Moi
Born on June 30th 1988, I was always destined to leave the island and do something greater...or at least explore the world. I would get lost at Disneyland when I was three years old and separate from my family at any given moment on vacations to just roam around freely and explore. It was no wonder … Continue reading Hommage to Moi
The Path I Didn’t Choose…
When I was a kid, and still now, I've always wanted to dance for a living. Music has been my life ever since I was a kid and I used to dance a lot when I was younger too. As I got older, lessons were hard to pay for and mother wasn't always keen on … Continue reading The Path I Didn’t Choose…
Further insight as to Teaching in Korea
I'd embed videos onto this but sadly, it's been acting funny so here are some videos by two people I admire very much and were my inspiration to go to Korea to teach, Simon and Martina! http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/teaching-english-in-korean-middle-schools-bingo/ http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/teaching-in-korean-middle-school-guess-who/ I chose these visuals because I've been watching these people since 2009-2010, can't remember exactly when. They've … Continue reading Further insight as to Teaching in Korea
Pet Peeves
I have a couple of pet peeves that piss people off. I tend to bite my fingernails and lips when I'm really nervous or anxious. It pisses off my mom and my boyfriend a lot. My boyfriend tends to take my hands away from my mouth when he sees me fidgeting with them to stop … Continue reading Pet Peeves
English Major(More than Just a Bookworm)
I finally chose an English major after debating it for two(three) years because I just love to read. I'm a huge bookworm. I love to write a lot too. Which would explain the few blogs I've had here and there aside from the supplemental blogging I've done in other places. The most challengeing thing for … Continue reading English Major(More than Just a Bookworm)
Story. Of. My. Life. (Plus work)
Much like our teacher posted about an all-nighter, I'd like to post something else that has to do with school/college. I really liked this caricature because it captures the mentality of all college kids and well, everyone in school. That's our desperation sometimes. I don't think this charicature has a real message except to just … Continue reading Story. Of. My. Life. (Plus work)
[Really rough finished draft] Editorial: The limits of fandom.
Fans aren't all crazy. A lot of them seem that way and people tend to generalize on that mass population of crazies. There are limits to fandoms and most people need to realize when they've taken their fan love from normal to far beyond the length of crazy. Fans come in all shapes in sizes. Some … Continue reading [Really rough finished draft] Editorial: The limits of fandom.

Super Junior
I didn't find Asian men attractive at all. Okay, I found Gackt and Hyde attractive but that was namely it. I didn't see much appeal in them. I listened to Japanese boy bands but something was missing. It wasn't like *Nysnc or BSB that there was a physical pull aside from the music. Super Junior … Continue reading Super Junior
