About Me

Hi! My name is Kelly Blount and I am now a senior at Mercer. My major is Business Administration with a concentration in Healthcare Management. I am also on a Pre-Dentistry track and hope to go to dental school in Augusta, GA next year.

On campus, I am a member of the Women's Tennis Team as well as Phi Mu, Phi Eta Sigma, Tift Scholars, and Up 'Til Dawn. When I am not playing tennis I enjoy going to the beach, working out, and watching movies. I recently returned from a trip to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Austria and have become very interested in traveling. I hope to add this to my list of hobbies sometime in the near future.

I am taking this course to fulfill a general education requirement for my major. However, I chose to take it online because I will not be in Macon for the entire summer. I am excited about taking a class where students don't have to necessarily be in the same room or even the same state to learn and hold discussions.

I am a little apprehensive about taking an online class because I have never taken one before. I will have to be much more aware of assignments and handle time management effectively. One of my biggest concerns is our weekly chats. It seems to me that it might be difficult to talk if 20 students are trying to type and discuss the topics at the exact same time. However, during our orientation I was assured that it wouldn't be mass chaos and that the professor had ways of controlling discussions. Overall, I am excited to take my first college English course.
