Introduction to a Frazzled English Major

Good day all! My name is Amanda Jones. I am a senior English literature major at the University of Oklahoma. It's not an easy major and definitely not for the faint of heart; there's a lot of reading and writing involved, which can be exciting, but also tiring. I have taken some amazing classes, however, like one over Jane Austen, one over the History of the English language, and one over publishing a magazine. These were some of the hardest classes I have taken, but they were also some of the best because they were so interesting and they challenged me. I took 18 hours last semester, a feat I have never attempted before, and I survived. I love to read, everything from Harry Potter to Jane Austen to The Great Gatsby. The downside of being an English major, however, is while I read all the time, it is not always for fun much. 

I am the oldest of three siblings, so I have the older child symptom of being a perfectionist and too responsible for my own good at times. At times, being an only child would be nice, but then I would miss the fun of tormenting my siblings.
I have a lot of favorites. I am a huge Disney fanatic, if you could not already tell from my "Favorite Place" post. Disney movies are my guilty pleasure, and no matter what mood I'm in, I'm always in the mood for Disney. I am also a big fan of British television shows, such as Sherlock, Doctor Who, and Downton Abbey. 

My favorite foods are pizza, popcorn, and Mountain Dew, and any day when I eat all three is a good day. I make pretty good homemade pizza out of tortillas, pizza sauce, and cheese. Sadly, I can't make Mountain Dew from scratch.
I'm fairly typical, as I love watching tv and movies, spending time with friends, and eating. I also love to make jewelry for fun. My favorite thing, though, is spending time with the people I love. That's what always makes my day.
There you have it; some things about me, maybe interesting, maybe not. I hope y'all enjoy my blog and it keeps you interested.
