My Introduction

My first post on my new English 111 Blog

Hi, my name is Justin and I am new to the blackboard class idea.
I live in Fairbanks, and have been here for one year this August. I am origionally from Louisville, Kentucky and while I love it down that way, I call Fairbanks home.
I have quite a bit of anxiety about taking an online course, but my brother who is well versed in such things assures me that it is a great way to take classes, mainly I have to set deadlines for myself and stick to them. I have been out of school for a long time and am just getting back into it, that is cause for some anxiety too.
I don't have much of a history of writing anything formally. I do alot of proofreading for other people because I work in the prepress department of a printing business though. While it doesn't keep me writing much, it does make me aware of some of the common mistakes that slip past people.
I keep another blog that I write on occasionally for friends and family too.
My hobbies and interests are far reaching. I love to read, mostly non-fiction and how-to books. I love learning more about printing, mostly the older methods like letterpress and lithography. I enjoy hunting and fishing and just generally being outdoors in Alaska.
So, in a nutshell, there I am. I am looking forward to working my way through this class and getting back into school.
