Introduction

Hey there. My name is Dax and I am a freshman BFA Theatre major at TCU. If I were chancellor of TCU I'm not sure that I would change anything. It would be near hypocritical for me to want to change much for I chose this place out of free will. I chose to be a horned frog and agreed to stand by what that entails. I believe a good teacher changes their students in some form or fashion. If a student is left unchanged by the class they take, then they have learned nothing and might as well not take the class. A good student allows for the teacher to mold them. An ignorant student is not a student at all.
If I were to have dinner with three people they would have to be Billy Porter, Elizabeth I, and Thespis. I would invite Billy Porter because he is my number one idol in the arts. I would invite Elizabeth I due to her strengths and wills that she put forth through history. Finally, I would invite Thespis to acquire more historical knowledge of my profession. For those of you who don't know who Thespis is, he is considered to be the first actor. This is where the term thespian came from.
Three things you should know about me... This question is a bit perplexing. I am an overly blunt and open person so you could really know anything about me. I suppose that could be counted as one. I am overly open and blunt. Another could be that I am extremely devoted to the arts. I forwent luxurious sport scholarship offers just for my sheer size for my more measly theatre scholarship offers. Lastly, I feel as if there in no such thing as "too many friends". You may have too many bad friends, but never too many friends. If there are three things that I'd like to know about you, my questions are most likely answered in your introductory blog. If I want to know something, I'll ask, no holds barred.
I would actually love to get out of this course. It's not that I hate the professor or anything about the course. I just find it merely redundant. I went to a small private school in the area where a course with this exact structure was taught. I love to write, don't get me wrong, I just feel that after taking a course, to take it again is no help. Nonetheless, I'll go in with a positive attitude and give it a shot. Speaking of writing, I usually write short stories. These stories are more than likely about mental illness. I'm not sure why. I think because the two things in the world that scare me most are spiders and mental illness. Maybe I find it intriguing.
I, Dax M., understand and agree to the terms in the course syllabus.
