Introduction

Hey all,
This is Rich Sopko, I'm 22 years old and I’m a senior Management Information Systems (MIS) major here at SU. I’m involved with the co-ed professional business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi (rush starts Monday the 24th), and I’m president of the MIS organization. I like to play pickup games of basketball, volleyball, racquetball, soccer, etc… I also like to play Xbox 360, mainly Halo Reach and CoD: BO. I’m interning at Capital Blue Cross in Harrisburg as a software engineer, but I have a job set up for after graducation with Deloitte Consulting. I’m in this class because I needed to finish off my category B general education requirements. I decided on this class when I heard about not having to write book reports and just blogging responses. I recently renewed my interest in reading a few weeks before the semester started, and the first book I read was “The Girl With the Dragoon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson and it was excellent. I’m currently reading “The Girl Who Played With Fire” and can’t put it down. I listen to any type of music, and I mean any from oldies to country to rap. I don’t watch a lot of TV since I’m always busy with classes, clubs or work; but I do watch a lot of movies through Netflix or stream TV shows on my computer. I have to admit to watching Jersey Shore and I also watch Spartacus and Law and Order: SVU. My past experiences with literature include personal readings and assigned readings from classes. In my opinion literature can be anything that tells a story or provokes the brain into thinking about a subject.

  3. @Shannon - Spartacus is a great show, you just have to get past the first few shows.

    @Tiyana - Thanks! It was about a journalist that is hired to uncover a murder mystery (kinda). It had a lot of twists that you wouldn't expect.

  4. I've seen that book around, "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo". What is it about? It looks like it would be interesting. I love Netflix but sometimes there are movies I wish I could watch and can't because they aren't on instant play (I use my parents account). It's really nice to be able to sit down and watch a 40 min tv show episode to take a short break.
