Assignment 1

Hi, I’m Thomas, and in case you haven’t figured out by now, I eat, breathe, and sleep sports. I have played soccer since before I could remember (my parents say the first thing I did once I learned to walk was kick a soccer ball, but I’m skeptical) and I partake in the occasional basketball and football pickup game. I’ve been a member of the varsity soccer team since freshman year and have been blessed to witness some memorable games. In addition, I am an avid UK sports fan. I follow the basketball and football team fairly closely, and have an innate hatred of Duke, North Carolina, Louisville, essentially any of Kentucky’s rivals. I live in the middle of nowhere on 10 acres of land with four horses, which we never seem to ride, and an empty chicken coup (the foxes and hawks got hungry). I used to play the guitar and piano regularly, not so much anymore, but my love for music hasn’t disappeared. I listen to anything from alternative to oldies to hip hop to the country music I am force-fed by my twin sisters and mother. The highlight of my summer was going to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands for a week, where I had the pleasure of relaxing at the beach, snorkeling, talking with the natives, and driving on the left side of the road for the first time in my life.

This is a picture of The Office, one of my favorite TV shows. I’ve no lifed it and seen all the episodes on Netflix, and watching most of them again still doesn’t get old. The only beef I have with the show is that the theme song is too catchy and gets stuck in my head every time I watch it.
