Week 1: Introductions


My name is Mark Butkus, and I am from Arlington Heights Illinois. Since I am not the most creative or artsy people there are, I just resort to sports as my “hobbies”. When it comes to sports, I tend to focus on the three sports most popular by Americans: baseball, basketball, and football. My favorite teams consist of: the Bulls, White Sox, and Bears. The Bears are pretty much the only topic that I have very strong opinion about and can ramble on until even I get annoyed by myself talking. When it comes to politics, I am neither a republican nor a democrat; I think that it is ridiculous how people judge each other just by what political party. But my real reason why I do not choose a side when it comes to politics is because I really do not care if a person is from the democrats, republican, or even the Green Party, I am just going to vote for the person who has the best views. But it is about that time to focus on what this blog is really about, writing.  Now writing is not my favorite thing to do, so that is why I am an accounting major. Throughout middle school and high school, I have never really been interested in writing because it just seemed so boring and I am just not that creative of a person. Math has always been the subject that I would interest me, thus my major being accounting. In this class I expect us to do a lot of writing unfortunately. And that is not the worst thing in the world but as a general education course, I still have to try my best. And who knows, this class could be fun, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves, English is usually not known for being that fun of a class.
