As I entered Gaylord hall I saw a group of guys heading up the stairs, so I followed them. We all went into the same classroom and took a seat. It took me about 20 mins before I realized that I was in macroeconomics instead of hip hop in the media. I felt foolish when I looked at the syllabus to realize my mistake. My face was red with embarrassement when I left the classroom. I walked down the hall and entered the correct classroom 2030. Hip hop music was playing and I saw a few familiar faces and felt at ease that I was in the right place at last.
I enrolled in this course for two main reasons. The first being that I need more hours in order to graduate in May. The second reason being that I would like to expand my knowledge on hip hop (since I have none). I guess you could say that I was country when country wasn't cool. Though many may argue that country still is not cool, I am undeniably country. I was born and raised in a small town and I cannot help it but I love country music. However, I am not a music snob. I will listen to all types of music and have a wide variety on my ipod. I listen to everything from Chris LeDoux to Beyonce to The Beatles. I love music.
One thing that I am sad to admit is I do not have a large knowledge of the hip hop culture. I hope to be enlightened by this course and become educated in the ways of hip hop.

you know, in my house my mom listened to Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn, so that is country when was not considered cool, and I listen to the Dixie Chicks and Patsy Cline, without a doubt. Being open to new music and new viewpoints is opening the door. Like I said in class, it was just amazing when
"over and over again' came out....the best of both worlds:)
