Hello, interwebs. I am back again due to college enrollment. This is the blog I will be using for Humanities and possibly other classes, if I'm ever required to write a post for another class.
I am Jenessa. I am technically a freshman, but I completed Concurrent Enrollment courses during my high school career, so I consider myself a sophomore due to the sheer credits I have already earned. I have lived in St. George for about 8 years now, and I have lived in Provo (I was born there) and Spanish Fork, as well as Ivins, and I have also lived in Scottsdale and Mesa in Arizona. I am here at Dixie because I want an education. Although I am breaking the bank and taking classes I don't think I would if I wasn't forced to, I do appreciate the opportunity, and I think I'll appreciate it even more on graduation day. My goals for the future are to finish college quickly (school grows tedious after 13+ years). I will be taking a break after Spring semester to serve an LDS mission, hopefully somewhere far away from the US. I'd like to think I'm an artsy kind of person (I randomly draw/color/sketch, I took a few art/ceramic/photography/theater/creative writing classes in high school), but I don't know how well I can actually define myself as far as knowledgeable about art or technique. My only frequent concern is passing the course, which I think I will be able to handle, because I need to keep a high GPA for both over-achiever syndrome (which I'm pretty sure is a real thing) and my scholarship. I guess the one thing I'd warn any professor about is that I can be very vocal in a virtual setting, but in the classroom, I am very quiet and I tend to absorb rather than contribute. Apparently, I will have to work on that because my professors expect me to speak my mind in front of complete, judgmental strangers. Nothing like a little soul-bearing with my nonchalant classmates.
