About Me

My name is Justin and I am from Redwood City, California, which is roughly twenty minutes south of San Francisco.  I am a junior at Texas Christian University and am a Resident Assistant in Sherley Hall this year.  My major is Entrepreneurial Management and Marketing, with a minor in Environmental Science.  I am in the Neeley Fellows program at TCU, which is the honors business program.  I also work at the University Union and help put on programs for students.

I didn't really know that I was taking a course in Gothic literature until I showed up for the first day of class.  However, I am excited to read and be exposed to a new genre of literature.  I haven't really read anything Gothic, except for Wuthering Heights and the Scarlett Letter, if those even count as Gothic literature.  The class sounds interesting and it will be a nice break from the the business classes.  I hope to gain a good understanding of how to define Gothic Literature and be able to identify when I am reading a Gothic novel.
