Hi! My name is Tim Martin. I am from Hilliard, Ohio and went to Hilliard Darby High School, where I graduated in 2009. I am the youngest of 4 and my siblings now live in 3 separate states. I am a junior music education on trumpet. I am also in the marching 110 and I am in the drumline playing the snare drum. I am a member of Kappa Kappa Psi which is a fraternity that aims to help the bands at OU, specifically the Marching 110. I will be touring with The Glassmen Drum and Bugle Corps this summer on the snareline which is a very large financial and time commitment!

In Eng 151, I enjoyed the freedom of writing about what I wanted to write about because I could really dive into the topic that I was interested in. I was not a huge fan of having to write research papers that are aimed to just give information, however. I love to write about what I believe in and my interests.

I think I will enjoy this class as I think the internet is a very interesting place to read about other people and see how they think and what they believe; nobody holds back on the internet because it's not threatening. I'm kind of hoping that I will gain a better understanding of how to use the internet to express myself and how to understand others. I've never taken a course that I was able to use wikipedia, let alone make one! I'm a little worried that that course load will be too great, as I am taking 21 credit hours this quarter and I will be very busy with one of my extra-curricular activities(Drum Corps) but I think I will will be able to handle it; I took 23 credit hours last quarter!
