Hamada EL Tatawy, but everyone calls me Hada on account of Hamada being to hard to pronounce. I'm an aviation and aviation business major with a meteorology minor. I'm not a huge fan of vampires or all the new shows that are coming out about vampires, but I've never really given them a chance. I'd say that I'm open minded but hard to please.
I absolutely love to read. I probably read about two to three hours almost every day. When i pick up a book that I like, I feel like I can't put it down. There have been times I've read books cover to cover in one sitting if they hit the right note. I've been that way since I was a kid. It didn't really sit well growing up because I was really into sports. My teammates would find more books in my wrestling bag then they would gear. It's cliche to say but I've always felt like books are a gateway to other worlds. I can't get enough of em. When I'm finished with a good series I almost feel sad.
What I would love to get out of this class is a bunch of good reading. I love to dissect books and am looking forward to getting into that with this class; I wouldn't mind picking up some writing skills on the way either. I've never read a graphic novel so that's another thing that I wouldn't mind getting some experience with. So far this class seems like it'll be a lot of fun. It seems like it's full of smart people to feed off of. I enjoy our class conversations the most. Lots of good input and feedback; I'm looking forward to.
I have to agree that I have never been into the whole vampire thing. I don't watch the shows nor do i follow the movies. I saw "Queen of The Damned" a few years ago, but that is the extent of my vampire experiences. I stayed in the class because I figured this topic would be a nice challenge for me since I'm not a big fan of fantasy fiction, but I have read ahead and I am surprised with the books we are reading!
ReplyDeleteI love to read too, but I never have the time! I'm glad that you're giving this class a chance. Vampires are pretty cool after all, and the graphic novel is pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteHi Hada! I'm excited to have you as my partner and work with you this quarter! I love how you described reading as a "gateway to other worlds," because that is exactly why I love to read. I hope you enjoy this class!
ReplyDeleteI agree. So far the class seems to really be clicking in discussion. Good, smart students.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy some of the reading.
