Hey there! I’m Carol Rojas Ramirez (I know, it’s kind of mouthful… just imagine half of your last name cut off in your High School Diploma. I know… I was shocked too).
Just kidding… they just omitted the “Ramirez” part. It’s cool I’m totally not salty about it.
Anyways, I’m a second year Industrial Engineering major whose anticipated graduation year is 2021 (crossing my fingers). I’m enrolled in the online version of the class and I’m currently back home in Buford, Georgia. I’m actually taking three other online classes and working part time at a bookstore. Other than that, my only obligation is tanning and fantasizing about all of the dogs I will be adopting once I graduate.
I took English 1101 last Fall with Dr. Rachel Dean-Ruzicka and had an amazing time learning about murder in America. That class really helped me improve my written communication skills. However, the part that I enjoyed the most was the visual communications aspect. We had to create a movie poster that represented the many ideas we had talked about throughout the course. I don’t fancy myself a creative person, so it was challenging but something I thoroughly enjoyed and hope that I get to do again at some point in my career. We had various projects where we had to speak in front of large audiences, which was very difficult for me do without having tiny anxiety attacks. So that’s something that I hope to work on not just during this class but throughout my time at Tech.
I have heard about Hamilton and how everyone was raving about it for a while but I haven’t heard or listened to it before. I have always despised musicals (hence my hatred for most Disney movies… actually that’s also due to Up).
*cries*
Sorry… I get distracted. But despite my hatred for musicals, I do love hip hop and rap and after listening to some of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s previous work, I am very much looking forward to experiencing Hamilton in its many forms.
As you can tell, I really like gifs and pretending that I have a sense of humor. I also enjoy reading, swimming, cooking, and playing with doggos.
