Hello English Class

Hi my name is Jeremy Irvin.  I am 33 years old and until last semester I had not been to school since the first couple months of my freshman year in high school.  I struggle a little due to my lack of experience but still manage to enjoy myself some and keep my grades up.

 My girlfriends name is Tonya we have been together for five years. She is a waitress at chili's and has worked there since they opened. She really enjoys her job. I do construction work for a local cable company.  While I do like my job, I hope to one day do something other then construction work. I am not sure what that is. So far in school I have not chose a major.

I love aquariums and exercise.  I have a 55 gallon freshwater aquarium full of African Cichlids. I really love watching my fish and working on my aquarium.  I hope that one day soon I will be able to afford a saltwater aquarium.

We have two dogs, Sierra and Diamond. Diamond is not really ours we keep her for a friend. Sometimes my dogs drive me crazy but most of the time all they do is sleep.
During the winter time I dedicate my time to school and work but when summer time comes around it is all about the water. I enjoy swimming, kayaking and camping. I hope to spend as much time as possible this summer doing all three.
I enjoy online classes but have to admit I dread this class mostly because I have a real hard time with writing. The hardest part for me is the word requirements. I always find myself struggling to get enough words on the page. I hope I figure out a way to make that a little easier on me this semester. I am very happy to be getting the semester started.
