Hello everyone! My name is Liz Martin (she/her/hers) and it is my first year at San Diego State University and I am majoring in English. I transferred here from Shasta College, which is located in Redding, CA. I lived in Redding for most of my life so I am excited to change it up and explore some new connections and experiences here in San Diego for a little while. I am very grateful that I have the opportunity to expand my knowledge here at SDSU and I cannot wait to take part in this class!
A few things about me are that I am a cat person, I currently have three cats that I have adopted, a calico, a tuxedo, and a ginger cat. I enjoy going on hikes and going to the gym. I also enjoy reading and watching films. A few of my favorite books include Gone Girl, My Year of Rest and Relaxation, and Pride and Prejudice. A few of my favorite films include Funny Face, Paris, Texas, and Fantastic Mr. Fox. I also enjoy going to concerts, two of my favorites have been Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande, I love the pop girls.
I can’t wait to read Moby Dick and learn more about it through others’ thoughts and opinions, thank you!
Picture of me 🙂
Thanks for being here, Liz, and for posting your intro and photo. I am eager to learn more about you via your response to the novel. I hope you enjoy the class!
Hi Liz!
I read “My Year of Rest and Relaxation” last fall and loved it. I’ve also heard good things about “A Certain Hunger” and “Bunny,” which remind me of the vibes of “My Year of Rest and Relaxation.” “Pride and Prejudice” is always such a classic and a go-to. I went with my Mom to see the rereleased 2005 version of the movie adaptation earlier this year (I cried).
Hi Liz!!
You have such great taste. Paris, Texas, Gone Girl, and Taylor Swift are some of my absolute favorites too. I’ve been wanting to read My Year of Rest and Relaxation and this makes me want to read it more.
Looking forward to hearing more about you and your thoughts on Moby Dick throughout the class!!
Hi Liz! I think its amazing that you’re a cat person! I have one cat named timmy and I’ve had him since I was 8 years old, he is 15 years old! I love Taylor sift and I’m so jealous that you’ve gotten to see her in person! I hope to get to know you in class this semester!
