My name is Zach Sharp and I'm from San Antonio, Texas, where I've lived my whole life.
I transferred to Trinity from San Antonio College during the Fall 2010 semester. I'm majoring in English and thinking about minoring in Philosophy. Academically, I'm interested in literary theory and criticism, and hope to go to graduate school and eventually teach and do research in something along those lines. Other than that, I'm interested in music (I play bass and guitar, and played the cello for a long time before becoming bored with it), collecting old vinyl, documentaries, reading and writing. I'm a big fan of Krautrock (German rock from the 70's), among other things. I guess that I'm moderately adequate with computers. I haven't used Excel in years, but I can navigate Word and PowerPoint (at least in the past). I'm more familiar with the Mac program equivalents Pages and Keynote, so it might be a bit of an adjustment to using the others regularly. I have never used HTML, so that would probably be the most difficult thing for me to learn about. If you go into academia you have to be tech savvy, so I look forward to learning more about the stuff I need to know.

You're one of the first people I've met whose heard of Krautrock. I listen to a decent amount of 70s Bowie and a lot his stuff was inspired by German Krautrock bands.
ReplyDeleteCool blog layout! I haven't used Excel in ages either, but hopefully it won't be too hard!
ReplyDeleteI also played the cello for a while - I love it as an instrument, but I have absolutely no muscial ability. Sounds like you're a lot more talented than I am!
ReplyDeleteZach, welcome - your intro piece is really interesting. I am looking forward to working with you this semester -
