Me,Myself and I (Who am I?)

Well I usually hate introductions but since I have to type this instead of saying something interesting about myself infront of 50 people,I have no complaints. I am a biology major, the reason why I chose to go with biology was not because I find cells interesting or enjoy spending my nights going over mitosis and miosis, I chose it because biology is how one can cure people and it also deals with animals and the biological environments. As a kid I spent alot of time exploring a forest right next to my house and often ended up rescueing wild animals, so biology, animals and the wild in general is something I am crazy about.

Why did I choose this class?. Well, life is all about knowing things; our survival literally depends on it. Since this class is about global events,I wanted to know more about what's happening around the world and global community in general. Also Annemarie seems to be a fair professor so I wanted to take her class again. Sorry i only had two paragraphs to write about myself so i wrote whatever came to my mind. Introductions are meant to be honest, I am not going to bother reivising this one!

Me, Myself, and I

Hello everybody, my name is Grigoriy Malyutin and I am a sophomore at Binghamton University. Everyone calls me Greg. I am a Chemistry Major and plan on going to medical school after I graduate. I was born in Russia but due to my family immigrating to Brooklyn, New York when I was 4 years old, I do not remember much of Russia. However, I did visit a few times since then and when people ask "how is it?," I reply "different." This is not to brush anyone off, but it is completely dissimilar.

I like to take classes that are outside of the core curriculum and as it turns out, Global Media interactions interest me. One of my daily routines is reading the news on Yahoo! and going through Digg stories to see what is interesting in the world that isn't headlined on major newspapers. I hope to incorporate my knowledge of Russian to develop a more global view on events and how media interacts around the globe. I am also very pro-internet neutrality and because of this I have an issue with the "Great Firewall of China," and Iran's increasing infringement on human rights. In fact, just 30 minutes ago, I was reading an article that described Iran announcing how it will start an internet cyber force that will police citizen's internet viewing activities.

Last but definitely not least, I am looking forward to getting to know my fellow students and hope to have fun while learning about media interactions!
