Elkins Introduction

My name is Charles Elkins. I am from Plaquemine, Louisiana (near Baton Rouge). I am presently a psychology major. I chose this Tim Burton Seminar because I enjoy some of his movies. I enjoy reading and watching movies, as well as playing a few video-games.  I also enjoy humor quite a bit and do not like to take anything too seriously (and by too seriously, I mean over-the-top).

I am a Freshman at Loyola University New Orleans, which is kind of obvious since I am in this class.  I am a frequent redditor (although I do not like to get sucked in like a few people), and dislike using Facebook. I enjoy history, with my favorite subject area being the Italian Renaissance (although, that changes from time to time). I dislike being under pressure, so I get things done rather early. I also enjoy English.

I am very awkward in social situations, which is one reason as to why I am a psychology major. I like to delve into the human brain and see what makes us work. Currently, I am taking social and abnormal psychology, both of which really fascinate me. I find it interesting that humans want to learn more about the world in which they live in, yet barely understand themselves. I want to understand why people are the way they are.

I am a huge nerd. I like Game of Thrones (currently on Storm of Swords in the books), Harry Potter, Doctor Who, etc. I could go on. My family (I have a brother and a sister) enjoy taunting me with said nerdiness, which I am perfectly fine with them doing. I am a  big Batman fan (although, I have not seen Tim Burton’s take on him in quite a while, so this seminar should be good for that).

I enjoy travelling. Usually, my family and I go to a foreign location during the summertime (my favorite has been England, where I plan to study abroad in the near future). I like to learn about different cultures and languages in the places where I travel. I also enjoy koalas quite a bit.
