Introducing...Sarah Hunt!



My name is Sarah Hunt. I'm from a tiny town in the panhandle of Texas, called Panhandle, Texas. Original, I know. I left that booming metropolis to attend the University of Texas in Austin where I studied theatre and European history. Good move, Sarah. Good move.

My very first computer was a hand-me-down Mac, where all I knew how to do is play Oregon's Trail. So I was a Mac before Mac was cool. I was in high school when the internet (or "intermat," as my GrAnne says) really took off. So I didn't even receive word processing education until sophomore year. Yeah, that's what they called it back then. Given the option, I prefer the Mac Pages & Numbers to Microsoft Office. It's more compact. However, at my office--I'm a Realtor for Coldwell Banker--I'd like to think I was very influential in finally getting the office to update from Windows 98 (in 2006) to Windows XP. Baby steps.

My husband, Mark, says I'm a nerd, but I've always liked to learn. I feel comfortable in the classroom. In college, I was the girl that was in attendance in every single class. I'm not sure who I inherited this trait from, but I think it stems from two of my high school teachers: Mrs. Loerwald & Mrs. Martin. They strived to make learning not only intriguing, but fun. And that's the teacher I want to be. This is why I love that the CSUSM COE mission statement emphasizes "life-long learning" and "reflective learning."

  1. haha I love your sarcasm. My best friend just graduated with a degree in theatre and we recently saw a comedian who said it was like graduating with a degree in magic. She basically is still laughing at that joke so hopefully you'll find it funny too!

    Also, OREGON TRAIL WAS THE BEST!!!

    Actually, I can probably relate to everything you said in your introduction but I'll save you from reading every single ones of my thoughts.

  2. Sarah, you are hilarious!! I thought your introduction the the class sums up not only who you are as a student, but your humorous outlook on everything. You strike me as a free spirit, who is optimistic and finds the positive in any situation. You know what they say "if life gives you lemons, find someone who's life has given them vodka, and have one heck of a party". After reading your blog, i admire the way you perceive life, adjusting to different events or issues that may come along the way.
