Who am I? Why am I here?

Hello everyone, my name is Tonja Rice. I am a 20 year old junior at UMBC and my major is Psychology. It seems like I can write about anything except when it comes down to writing something about me. I guess that I can start out by saying that I am so excited about this fall semester and even though the work load is going to be a little heavy, I know that I am going to have a blast!

Now, I am going to be perfectly honest with you all when I say that I am taking AMST 222 because I only need one more AH. I really wanted to get into GWST 322 Women and the Media: Myths, Images, and Voices; unfortunately that class was closed. Even though I am not in GWST I think that I am really going to like AMST 222 because I think that learning about different types of media, what goes on in the media, and how it affects our society is intriguing. I think that this class will open me up more when it comes down to looking at different types of media, such as different types of music and magazines.

As I have already stated in class I LOVE horror movies and mysteries. I actually like the feeling I get when I am afraid then how I feel afterwards if that makes any since. One of my favorite movies of all time is Rear Window, which was produced by Alfred Hitchcock. I can kind of relate to James Stewart in the movie because I am always trying to know what is going on around me. Nosey, that is one thing I do not consider myself to be, well maybe just a little. Even though I know what is going on all around me I make sure that I keep my mouth shut.

I live to help people and I usually do so in practical ways and when I am not doing so I feel useless. I am also a workaholic who loves being on the run. It is kind of hard for me to sit still for too long. Those around me consider me to be motherly, weird, and reliable. Right now I am still trying to figure out what I want to do with my B.A. I would love to teach and also counsel, but I am still trying to map my life out.
