I\u2019m an oboist in the Norseman Band, and one of the program notes writers for the ensemble. In my free time I like to read a variety of books, although I\u2019m usually more drawn to non-fiction than fiction. I\u2019m taking this course because it\u2019s the perfect blend of both my personal and academic interests in the arts, and in politics and government.\u00a0 Although my arts interest is strongest in music, I also have a background in theatre and visual arts which will help me understand and appreciate those aspects of the course. I\u2019m interested in politics and government more personally than academically, although I am used to studying and talking about those topics in my AmCon courses. It\u2019s hard for me to choose what I\u2019m most excited about, but access to the Library of Congress, performances, and meeting with congressional staffers are all pretty high on my list. I think it\u2019s going to be a particularly interesting month to be in DC in terms of politics, which I\u2019m both excited and apprehensive to experience. This will be my first time going to DC, so I\u2019m also excited to get to explore the city in general. The thing I\u2019m most nervous about is honestly dealing with more variable weather conditions than I\u2019m used to, which is a pretty manageable thing to be nervous about. My long term goal is to go into law, which is a field that\u2019s highly influenced by changing political landscapes, and kept stable by governmental and legal structures, so this course will be useful exposure to both of those things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href='https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/datadc\/2020\/01\/07\/hello-i-am-thomas-weinheimer\/' class='small-button smallsilver'>Newer<\/a> <a href='https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/datadc\/2020\/01\/07\/sending-you-all-a-very-charles-hello\/' class='small-button smallsilver'>Older<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Mary Crawford, and I\u2019m currently a sophomore music and religion major.
