Hey everyone! I’m Noah Hammond.
I took English 1101 here at Georgia Tech last Fall and didn’t particularly enjoy it. I like to read, but unlike my high school English classes, we didn’t read anything other than Shakespeare in 1101. I mostly like to read science fiction and fantasy books such as Game of Thrones. I enjoy English classes if we’re reading about things I like, but I’m usually more of a math/science kind of person like everyone else at Tech.
This summer I’m enrolled in CS 1331, since I want to change my major to Computer Science. I am also working at a restaurant in Tech Square for the summer.
I see myself as a decent oral communicator, since I can convey what I am trying to say most of the time, but I can definitely work on my written communication. Throughout high school and in my previous English class at Tech I struggled with writing essays that were in-depth enough. I end up saying what I want to say in a concise manner and fail to go into detail about the topics I’m discussing. I would like to work on describing the themes of my essays more effectively.
I’d heard of the musical Hamilton because my younger brother is into musicals and is in the theater club at his school. I enjoy going to musicals every now and then, but I’m no huge fan of them. Hamilton seems like a musical I’d be interested in, since it has modern music styles and a diverse cast. This sets it apart from most other musicals.
This is our dog, Biscuit. He’s a Welsh Corgi and he is about a year old. He loves running after everything that makes noise and licking everyone. He barks at nothing, just in case someone is trying to rob our house.
