Introductions

Hello everyone, my name is Hannah. I'm a political science major here at UW-Milwaukee. I work as a teller at Educator's Credit Union and love my job. It's nice to be able to say that, as not many people truly love their jobs. I cannot wait to graduate, although I have no clue what type of job I'll end up in.

I live in Oak Creek with my boyfriend of three years, Shawn. He is currently attending ITT Technical Institute for Electronics Engineering. He will graduate in March with his bachelor's degree. I also have a cat, Chase who will be three years old in March. He's all grown up, but still acts like a kitten. He has so much energy and loves to play and get into trouble! (As I type he is on the kitchen counter, where he should definitely NOT be!!)

I took this class to gain a better understanding of American Politics. The classes I have taken so far in political science are more of an international or comparative nature. While I feel I know quite a bit about the American political system, there are still many things I don't understand. I'm hoping this class with shed some light on those areas.

I have taken online classes before and have done pretty well, but blogging is something completely new to me, but I'm hoping it will be fun. I enjoyed setting up the blog and picking all the colors. I think it looks pretty cool!

This semester my schedule is filled with 400-level classes, and this class is no exception. I'm excited to learn more, the work may be a challenge, but I'm up for it!
