The REFLECTIONS
(ABASSI to CENA)
My
name is Carlos Kelly, I am a veteran-student at SDSU,
(just over 10
years). I fell in love with Literature as a young
child, but lost that
connection throughout high school and my early college
years. After
deciding that money shouldn’t be the main factor in
what kind of
degree I pursued, I switched to English as a BA and
rediscovered a
passion for literature. My path in academia continued
with an MA in
American Lit., also here at SDSU. Currently, I am in a
second Masters
program, this time with focus on an MFA in Poetry. I
don’t just
live for academia, I’m the drummer for a band, I
teach, and I
write. Working, going to school, making music, and
playing/coaching
basketball have been constants in my life ever since I
could remember.
I pursue my dreams, and although it can be time
consuming, frustrating,
daunting, and stressful, it is very possible. My goal
is to help you
succeed in the classroom and outside of it, please do
not hesitate in
contacting me, whether it be about this class or other
classes or
general information/perspective about the university
life, grad school;
I got your back.contact: carlos.kelly.ck AT hotmail.com

THE GHOSTS
(JENSEN TO MOULTON)
Hi,
my name is Adrian and I grew up in San Bernardino. I
received my BA in
English from UC Irvine. When I first began going to
college, I was a
computer science major, but I never really enjoyed my
classes. I then
realized that I enjoyed all of my English courses
because of my love
for reading. During my last year at UC Irvine, I was
exposed to
American modernist writers and I began to explore most
of the
literature that came out of this period. To this day,
one of my
favorite writers is William Faulkner. I want to
eventually receive my
PhD in literature and teach at the college level. I
really like playing
soccer, rock climbing, and cycling. I enjoy music from
the 60s through
80s and I have been playing the guitar since I was 10
years old. I
truly look forward to assisting you for this class.
Please don’t
hesitate to contact me for help or if you just want to
talk about
post-punk (we will, of course, tie this back to the
course material).contact: vegaa AT rohan.sdsu.edu
Office Hours: AL 6th floor outdoor patio, THURSDAYS 1:00-2:00.
