Welcome to WRIT101!
Greetings, class! Welcome to WRIT101,Spring Semester at the University of Montana. This is a great class, as it is a course that is highly dependent on YOU. You get to choose any and everything you want to write about (within the assignment's boundaries, of course..:) This semester, we'll inquire into the idea of sustainability as it pertains to you and I, what we write, how we write and why we write. A theme of our class will also be, "Writing as a Social Activity". I'm so looking forward to meeting all of you and creating our own classroom community. I hope this blog will provide a space for classroom introduction and community, as well as commentary and sharing of our writing and material. Again, welcome to class. Here's to a great semester of writing!

Hi! My name is Jenny Harris, I'm a second-year graduate student in English Teaching. I graduate this May and head back into the 'real world'... I'm from Missoula, MT, although have lived a few places. My relationship with writing is one of love, hate, struggle and triumph - writing has taken me to many places, as close as the Bitterroot Valley, to as far away as Italy and Africa. I just can't seem to escape writing, so my goal is to keep trying everyday to be the writer I want to be. (Whatever that means....:)In any case, I'm excited about this class!
Hi my name is Megan Sutherland, I'm a freshman here at the University of Montana. Im studying human biology. I'm grew up in Moses Lake, Washington but was born in San Jose, California. I've never been much of a writer, so my relationship with it is somewhat uncomfortable. I have improved over the years however, and am looking forward to improving even more from this class.
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm Kortney James and I was born and raised in the small town of Sandpoint, Idaho. I am a freshman here at the University of Montana and currently studying human biology...for now. I am not a fan of writing, and it has always been a struggle for me. Whenever I do write I generally get frustrated and find it hard to put my thoughts into words. With this class I hope to become a more confident writer and improve on all of my skills.
ReplyDeleteHello Writ101 Monday-Harris!
ReplyDeleteI'm Arthur and I'm a freshman studying journalism here at the University of Montana. Photography is a pretty big part of my life and I hope to earn a degree that'll help me to find a job as a photojournalist. Maybe?
Anyway, I have a blog that y'all are welcome to check out! It's www.arthurinthesky.com/blog .
Hope everyone's having a good first day.

Hey! My name is Kayla Reno and I was born in Washington and have lived there my whole life! I am a freshman here at the University of Montana and play on the volleyball team here with two others from our class, Kortney and Megan. I plan on majoring in communications. However, I love to write, always have and that is why I wanted to take this class. I feel like I can express myself through writing and love to write about almost anything, just not research papers :) I am looking forward to this class!
ReplyDeleteHi! My name is Jacy Suenram and I was born and raised in Dillon, MT. I am a freshman at the University of Montana and I am studying Biology but I am probably going to change in the future. My writing skills are not the greatest. I have a hard time coming up with ideas and it takes me forever to actually finish what I am working on. I am not one of those people that can write for days! I am looking forward to improving on my writing skills and learning new tips to make me an efficient writer.
ReplyDeleteHi! My name is Megan Murphey. I was born and raised in Bozeman, Montana. I am majoring in Human Biology and plan to be a plastic surgeon one day. Writing is not a strong suit of mine and I am hoping this class will help change that because I feel like it is an important skill to have!
ReplyDeleteHey! My name is Emily Kay. I was born in Libby, Montana, but my family moved to my current home in Plymouth, Minnesota when I was just two weeks old. I'm a freshman studying elementary education, but I may possibly be switching my major to psychology. Writing has always been one of my best subjects (along with reading...math and science are definitely NOT my strong suits), and I've always been able to express myself better through writing. I hope that I can discover new ways to express myself, and just keep improving my skills in this class!
ReplyDeleteHey my name is Josh Mueller. I was born in San Diego, CA and then live in Kalispell, MT as well as Twin Falls, ID and now here in Missoula, MT for 9 years. I am a freshman and I hope to double major in Business Management and Marketing. Ahh, what can I say about writing? I have never been a fan of it. It's as simple as that. I've never had that niche for writing probably because in Montana, the curriculum in writing seems to be pretty lacking compared to other states. Hopefully my skills can improve throughout this class! Excited to meet everyone!
ReplyDeletePeace Out Missoula
Hi my name is Kasey Gumke. I am from Seattle, Washington. I am studying HHP exercise science pre-physical therapy. I am not a strong writer but i like reading good interesting books. I want to become a better writer for papers during school that I am going to have to write over the years. :)
ReplyDeleteHey! I'm Lorin Robertson, and I'm from a town called Edmonds, in Washington. I am a Wildlife Bio major. I absolutely love to write, and I've always been a pretty strong writer. I've always tried to get into the higher English classes in high school just for reading and writing. I hope to continue to improve on the problems I still have with writing so I can make my papers sound better :)
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Brianne Poor! I am a freshman at the University of Montana. I was born in Eureka, California but have spent most of my life growing up in Fairfield, Montana. I am majoring in Exercise Science with the hopes of becoming a physical therapist. I would like to then specialize in working with pediatric patients. Writing has been something I struggle with. I am hoping that this class helps boost my writing confidence and also makes writing fun and enjoyable! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Ellie Steinbach. I was born and raised in a small neighborhood in Southwest Portland, Oregon called Multnomah Village. I'm a freshman studying both Organismal Biology and Spanish. My hope is to one day become a vet--a Spanish speaking vet, if you will.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite piece of writing is a book that I grew up reading with my dad, Where The Red Fern Grows. I enjoy writing, although, it has always been more of a personal experience between me and my journals. Writing papers is something that comes easily for me, it's the idea of what to write about that I find challenging. So, I guess you could say I have a love-hate relationship with writing. I hope that someday I will be more comfortable with sharing my writing, perhaps this comfort will come over the course of this class.
Hey! I'm Allison, but I also go by Alli. I'm from Tigard, Oregon (a suburb of Portland). I'm a freshman here at University of Montana and I'm studying chemistry. My favorite piece of writing is Number the Stars. I'm not the greatest writer so I'm really looking forward to improving in this class! :)
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm Amy. I am a freshman, living on campus and am studying psychology. I am from St. Ignatius, Montana. I really enjoy writing, however, I am not very good at it. Hopefully, through this course my writing will become much more efficient.
ReplyDeleteHi , my name is Trevor Rehm. I am from Dillon, Mt. Im am a freshman and am studying Business Marketing. I am not very good writer and do not particularly like it. I struggle at a lot of aspects of it but i will do my best in class and hopefully can get much better.
ReplyDeleteHey, Im Skyler! I am from Kalispell, MT. Im a freshman and currently undeclared but looking at pre-physical therapy or something to do with pre-med. I struggle at writing and don't enjoy it at all. So my relationship with it is not very strong but I would like to become a better writer and at least not dread it so much. So i'm excited for class and ready to get better.
