Bloggerific!

Hello! I'm Liz and I set up this blog for English 201: Rhetorics of Network Culture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I'm in my second year here and am pursuing a Genetics major. I hope to go on to medical school and become an oncologist one day, but I have a lot of things to accomplish before I sell my soul to the medical field.
I was born in Chicago, Illinois but my parents moved my brother and me to Park Ridge, a suburb, when I was a baby. I adore the city of Chicago and I am a huge Bears fan. I am also an avid reader (currently I'm reading Sense and Sensibility), I love to cook, and I enjoy movies (especially scare ones). Also, I am fortunate to be surrounded by a great group of friends that really know how to laugh and have a good time.
I have never had a blog before and I am very interested as to how this will work out. I am usually a fairly private and shy person, so posting my thoughts and ideas publicly on the internet might be a bit of an obstacle for me. However, I am going to do my best to have fun with this!

Hey, I see that you are interested in med school as am I! I have also looked into some med schools in Chicago. Have you given any thought to where you might want to go? Anyways, I get your whole selling your soul to medicine. Scary!

Hey! Right now I'm looking at applying to Northwestern, Loyola, and University of Chicago. I really want to go to med school some place close to home. I have a couple of more years to think about it, though. Where were you thinking of applying?

Hey! I was scrolling through the blogs and after making two "scholarly" comments, I had to give you the high five on being a Bears fan. People here are so hostile about it! But, there are a lot more blue/orange wearing people out there in preparation for Sunday. Fair weather fans...jk.
