Hello my name is Pete Obourn and I am also from the great state of New York. It seems that we have our own little New York posse forming here. Like Kate I am from outside of Rochester. And, like Michele I am a huge Sabres and Bills fan. So our group seems to have a lot in common. To be perfectly honest, I am taking this class because I need to fulfill my minor requirement. However, I did choose this class over the rest of the upper level psych classes because it looked very interesting. There is something about language and communication that is very intriguing to me; and based on what I have heard and read from others in the class this seems to be a mutual feeling. I am a first timer at this so I do not know how it will go, but I hope that by blogging we can all learn from each other by sharing out opinions and questions about language. So Sabres!
