Hey, my name is Dylan McNamara. I do not really know how to
go about this, so I guess I will just randomly ramble about myself. I am from
Dallas, however, I was originally born in Amarillo. I have two dogs named Zeus
and Samson, both are Doberman and they are brothers (from the same liter). I
graduated high school from Plano West Senior High in 2012. During my time in
high school, I wrestled and played baseball. When I decided that I was going to
come to The University of Oklahoma for college, my original plan was to
graduate with a degree in Petroleum Engineering. It took two years for me to
realize that this is not what I wanted to do. While I was interested in the oil
and gas field and still wanted to pursue a career in it, I was growing bored
and uninterested in the classes needed for Petroleum Engineering. After some
thought and consideration, I decided to switch my degree to Petroleum Geology.
That is where I am now. In hindsight, I am extremely glad that I made the
switch. I now find myself interested in the curriculum and actually learning
instead of just going through the motions necessary to earn a good grade. I am
currently enrolled in mineralogy, calculus four, epics of India, physics two,
and oceanography. Due to the workload of some of the classes which I am
enrolled in for this semester, it is going to be a difficult task to achieve
the grades that I want, but with enough work and effort, I should be able to
get it done. I am ready to get into this class especially, it seems like it
will be very interesting and I am excited to see what the books that we read
have in store.
