Introduction

Hello and allow me to introduce myself!

My name is Sarah deRosier but my nickname is Rah. This is my first online class and my first time back in school since 2006. Along with Media Writing, I am taking Music Appreciation, in hopes of heading towards my ultimate career goal of being a music/movie critic. I look forward to brushing up on my writing skills and learning new ways to approach the writing arts.

My current passions are music and movies, obviously. I enjoy going to concerts in my spare time and never limit myself when it comes to genre.

I also spin poi, more specifically fire, which has been my main hobby for the past two years. Next summer I am trying to go public by spinning for the Minnesota Renaissance Festival but that is a large goal I have yet to accomplish. Now you can find me at any backyard barbecue!

I look forward to the opportunity to expand my writing horizons with the focus on media, along with making new friends along the way.

oh my goodness that is quite the hobby! It sounds like it's a lot of fun, how did you get into that?

What a fabulous profile photo - and what a fascinating hobby! I've never heard of that before. This is one of the things I've always loved about journalism: the opportunity to learn about new things.

I have seen it done before, the poi spinning, and thought it would be a fun thing to do, but now that I am grown, I am happy no one would let me try it when I was a kid. I was not to be trusted.

I think that is so amazing that you can spin poi! I've seen it done on t.v. and everything, but all though I've always wanted to, i never have seen it done in person. It looks so hard, I bet it takes a lot of talent.
