Hello class! I am Zoe Olow! I am a 24 year old transfer student from Grossmont Collge and I am a ECL major! I am very excited to be in this class as I enjoy to read lots of different genres of books and this has been one I have been wanting to fully dive into as someone who loves the ocean and everything that dwells within! As I stated in my short intro in class, I have partially read Moby Dick before in high school, but I am very excited to actually fully read it with a new mindset and prepared to disect it as best as we can throughout the semester.
A little intro about me I enjoy to read, write, paint and go to concerts! I love to read all sorts of books but my favorite would have to be fantasy, romance, and historical! I am a frequent writer as I write little short shorties for myself, but I can hope that with my degree, I can persue some sort of writing career maybe within my current job or somewhere new. I love to paint and to make art, this is my way of calming down and relieving stress! I paint with oils mainly but I love digital art as well! For our final project I am considering painting something as that would be a strong suit for me! I cant wait to see what I can come up with as well as others. I am a avid concert goer and I am always looking forward to when my favorite artists come to California though they always go to LA and never San Diego (big sad)! I am avid Kpop muisc enjoyer and those are the concerts I go to the most which I always have the most fun at! I love dressing up to go to them and seeing my favorite artists in person! Also fun fact, I work at the San Diego Zoo as a Guest Ambassador, my favorite spot to be at is with the birds in the Africa Rocks Aviary!
I hope to talk to everyone in this class as we get to share the same space for this semester! I hope everyone has a good rest of their day and week! See you in class!
Thanks for being the first to post, Zoe, and SO happy to have you in class!
Hi Zoe,
It’s a pleasure to meet you! What are your current favorite K-Pop groups? Some of mine are Rain – older artist, but amazing – and LE SSERAFIM. I’ve only been to a handful of concerts myself, no foreign artists yet, but it can be a really cool experience to see musicians live. I think the most recent, bigger one that I have been to was to see Porter Robinson in Sacramento.
I can definitely understand being excited to do something creative for the final project – I had something in mind almost immediately, so I’m excited to see where the class will take us and how that idea will evolve with time. That’s super cool that you work at the San Diego Zoo – I work for the San Diego Public Library at the Central OliverMcMillan I CAN! Center.
See you in class tomorrow, hope you’re having a great night!
