What I wanna do..








For our assignment we were to pick three topics that we are most intrested about. I am interested in multiple things but three that I defintately want to
look into are another language, such as Chinese or Japanese, Rowing, after college of course, and photography.



I'm always fascinated by language. Whether it is Spanish, Italian, French, ect. I took Italian for three years before I moved to Florida and fell in love with it. I was a little disappointed when I found out my new school didn't teach it. Ever since then I have studied Spanish, but I want to try something new. I've heard numerous times that it is extremely hard to learn a new language as you get older, but I want to prove them wrong. Realistically, as much as I would love to learn a language such as Japanese or Chinese, I might not be able to just because of how complex it is. 私の名前はエマである (My name is Emma) I might look into learning more Italian, so I can rightfully call it my second language, and maybe Gaelic, because I would love to go to Ireland and know what they're saying haha. I just love language. period.



Ever since my dad gave me his old camera, that he's had for yyeaaarrssss, and I took photography, I absolutely adore it. For awhile I wanted to make it part of my career, just because I like the capture the moment, and when something pops out at me, I want to keep it. I mostly take pictures of objects, because I look at the different angles. I also enjoy close up photography, it just really appeals to me. Here is what I'm talking about. I always have a camera on me no matter what because I get random moments where I'm suddenly in picture mode. haha. After college, I really wouldn't mind going further with it, rather than just taking random pictures for the hell of it.


One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is rowing. I love everything about it. the aspect of the sport, the way it works, the boats, the oars, the regattas , everything. This is my 3rd year rowing, but first time collegically, and I'm thrilled to continue it in college. When I first started to apply to colleges, never really thought about not rowing. There was no question in my mind, I simply could not live without it. I know for a fact that if I have had a bad day, all I need to do is get on the water, and I forget about everything,I just row haha. After college I wouldn't mind saving up for a single or splitting the cost of a double, because I honestly do not think I could stop. Rowing - the ultimate addiction. :]

You make insightful observations about the character of Bahrani and your own negative response to him. The fact that he is only in exile from his own country because of having been associated with the Savak and the Shah's government is a good one--one, I think, tha is overlooked, although his wife repeatedly mentions it. I think, too, that you show self-reflection when you mention the reason you do not empathize with him as much as kathy--the fact that he seems to have a prejudice against/about Americans whom he sees as taking their opportunities for granted. But they do, often, don't they?
