What’s up everyone, my name is Brendan Feifer and I am a freshman here, just like the majority of this class. I’m a broadcast journalism major, and I love sports.

To be quite honest, I took this class for the sole reason of not being a science major. Don’t get me wrong, I am immensely astounded by science and the deep roots to burning questions, but my intrinsic wondering for a deeper meaning was never fulfilled in high school.  That is why I am not planning to be a science major, and my interests followed another road instead.

Today’s lecture made me more than excited for the course, and after looking through the semester schedule it appears that we’ll be learning things that are unique only to this specific class. Never in another class would I imagine that we’d eventually discuss the morbid possibility of an existing zombie virus, so in 12 weeks when we cover that I’ll be anxiously waiting. When the semester is over, that could very well be the reason that I look back and say why I stuck with and took this course.

For sports fans such as myself, if you are unfamiliar with ESPN’s John Brenkus and his “Sports Science” segments on SportsCenter, I would definitely recommend checking it out here.
