Dear Andrew,
Hey! Im Brittany Christmas, but I go by Britt. And yes My last name is Christmas;
you can go ahead and insert your non-witty jokes here. I am originally from Columbus, Ohio, but
I moved to Graham, North Carolina about four years ago. I went from a big city to a small town
no one has heard of! I am here at Charlotte now because my friend forced me tour here. I
hesitantly toured and loved the campus. I applied the minute I got home. I admit my first choice
was University of South Carolina, but the out of state tuition was ridiculous. So Charlotte it was,
I am a 49er now! I have always loved Charlotte though. My first time here I went to see my
favorite comedian and ended being able to go on the stage and improv with her which is
something interesting about me. But, it was honestly the best experience ever and now all my
memories of Charlotte are associated with amazing opportunities.
As far as my literary history goes, Id say I am an average student. I read at the average
level Id say, the only thing I cant stand is poetry. I am not too great at interpreting hidden
meanings because I am a very straightforward person. When it comes to writing, I would like to
say I do very well. The more creative I can be the better I write. I expect to improve my writing
skills this semester also. I would like to say that I worry about reading any in class passages
because I cant read with a lot of background noise other than music. But honestly I am an
average student and am just here to learn.

In the syllabus you used the quote The universe is made of stories, not atoms. I really
like that quote because I think it is important to know that everyone has stories and they all are
equally important. Everyones actions and lives are what history is in my mind. I feel like you
think the same thing as me since we are doing this assignment about our personal stories and
history. The syllabus over all is reasonable. It is easy to understand and all the policies are fair.
And I really like all the quotes too, they are really good and all inspirational.
One of our UWRT values are the composing process. I think that it is viewing writing and
literature as a process and how the writing process actually happens. Its important because you
cant get the final product without the process. I dont really have any questions for you. I think
most will be answered as we go but knowing me Ill have a million questions after I turn this in.
So thats it, not much to know about me. I am an average student, and I am ready to learn
what this class has to offer and move on to the next great class.

Sincerely,
Britt Christmas
