Blog Prompt #2

The most important thing that I learned in bootcamp was the concept of indebtnedness. Obviously i knew that sources had to be cited, but having it phrased as indebtedness, it helped me view the source as being more integrated into my writing, as opposed to just something merely quoted from. And overall i think this will help me writing considerably.

So, in the spirit of introduction, my name is Matthew Carl Mill, I go by Matt because I like the way it sounds, unless said in conjunction with my last name, in which case i prefer Matthew because Matt Mill is two very terse alliterations and i don't think it sounds good, but i digress, for all intents and purposes, Matt is good. I was born in Olympia, WA and have lived all of my life in Littlerock, a very small town about 20 miles South of the capitol. I'm a big fan of the outdoors and do a lot of hunting. Whether it be big game or waterfowl, for me it's more about being outside and getting away from whatever persistence is bothering me, whether it be school, work, or a combination of the two. My favorite sports are soccer and tennis, i'm on the club tennis team at WSU, which means merely that i paid the $50 to join, i'm just a decent player. I'm a good student, it is about the best thing i have going for me, and I view classes in terms of "how can i get an A?" as opposed to the more practical "what can learn from this class?" but since i'm studying chemical engineering, I feel that I get get away with that outlook in this English class. I read a lot of books. Most of which are in the Science-Fantasy genre, but also i read a lot of war accounts and Tom Clancy. I don't read Clive Cussler because I think his books sucks ass. I like to write about myself ^^^, and i'm competant when it comes to writing a story, but I'm pretty awful at academic writing, so this class will be a struggle. that's about it.
