Sloth Concentration

Home: Houston, TX and Weld Hall

Concentration: Biology

Subject he currently enjoys the most: Sloth.

What sloth is: Sloth is a major that I'm seeking to establish here at Harvard. It involves complete exemption from the core requirement except for Moral Reasoning.

Why Moral Reasoning is required: It would involve taking a course called "Rationality of Sloth."

What honors Sloth entails: You would not be allowed to enroll in any university courses.

Philosophy behind Sloth: There is no coursework. It's more of an understanding you reach about yourself.

Other major interest: I am heavily into music.

Current musical tastes: Nowadays I kind of listen to everything and anything.

Side effects of his indiscriminate musical selection: I have a huge problem with buying CDs.

Amount of CDs he has now: More than 200.

Amount he had before college: 60

What occupies his thoughts: I am pondering the contrast between my Southern upbringing and my life here.

Differences between Texas and Massachusetts: A lot of people here have never seen okra or grits.

Major difference in speech: People never say cuss up here. That's a word I used a lot back home.

His greatest challenge: Trying to figure out what the hell is going on with Orgo.

What he wants to do after college: I'm a pre-med. I assume the implication would be to go to a medical school.

What he really wants to do after college: I'd like to spend some years after college going around the country with my roommates performing free-form explorational poetry.

How this is pertinent to his studies: I feel this would be fulfilling the culmination of my bio concentration.
