Hi Everyone,

My name is Emmanuel Alvarez and I’m sophomore here at SDSU. I am majoring in marine biology and am minoring in interdisciplinary studies through the honors college. Even though I am majoring in a very science based field I have always had a special place for anything to do with literature, as well being a marine biology major and loving anything to do with mermaids I became very interested in joining this class and it would be cool to be able to correlate tops that we study in class to my major.

When I am in San Diego I love to take advantage of this wonderful weather so I try to be outside as often as possible. I love exploring the different beaches and going swimming in the beautiful water, as well I love to collect seashells while on the beach. I also really like to try new cafes, go on walks, hang with friends, and reading books. Right now I’m reading Emma by Jane Austin and its so interesting. I am excited to meet everyone in this class and hope we can have a good semester.
