Get to know Noah...

Hi, I'm Noah Syed. You may know me... I've been at TCU since 2007, and I'm entering my senior year. I'm from Albany, NY... which is about 2 hours and 30 minutes or so away from THE CITY. Why did I come to Texas? The weather, and an absolute fascination with the "Texas" way of life.

Anyways, the reason why I took this class is because you can't go wrong with a good fictional story. Without the bounds of reality, fiction opens up a whole new world to be encountered through our imaginations. I feel strongly attached to this sentiment, so an Intro to Fiction class seems like the best elective I could take to spark my interests.

I like short-stories (usually fiction), because the focus is on the punchline. A lot of fictional short-story adaptations were used for my favorite television show of all-time... the Twilight Zone. With something like non-fiction "based on a true story" type pieces, some of the stories are remarkable, but nothing compares to reading a (good) fiction, and wondering, "what if" such events were actually true... now THAT would truly be amazing.

I hope to accomplish so much in this course that I get an A without a doubt (doesn't everyone?). Hopefully the 'Adventures of Noah and his A in Intro to Fiction' doesn't turn out to be a fictional story. :)

In order to teach me well... be passionate about what you're talking about. If you're passionate, chances are I'll feed off that.

Something interesting about myself? I love writing... but not like you think. I love writing hip-hop lyrics mainly about the nitty-gritty. I love writing/composing beats to set the tone with said lyrics... I can engineer an entire song myself, and I'm proud of it because frankly... who wants to drop Benjamin Franklin's for one studio session when you can put together a song of same quality for free? Fortunately for me, I have the choice!

I read, understand, and agree to the terms of the course syllabus!

- Noah I.I.
