About Myself

My name is Kevin Ruzics, and I am a second year transfer student. I transferred from Cal Poly Pomona because I am a biology major, and I wanted to go to a school that has better classes and research opportunities. I started college as a music major, but I wasn't sure if I really wanted to pursue a career in music. It seemed like being forced to take too many music classes would make me lose interest in it completely, and the career choices seemed limited. Science classes were more straight forward for me, and I always did better in them. After the first quarter of taking music and science classes, I changed my major to biology.
I try to get outdoors as much as possible, mostly to go rock climbing. I don't watch tv too much, but when I do I'll usually watch a movie on dvd because the tv commercials are too obnoxious for my liking. Some movies I like are Ed Wood, Rumble Fish, Pan's Labyrinth, and The Science of Sleep. I listen to a variety of music, but find myself mostly listening to folk music. I also like to read books by authors from the beat generation, such as William Burroughs or Jack Kerouac. I once tried to read James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake, but didn't get to far into it or enjoy or understand very much of it.
As far as politics go, I do not have any strong beliefs about specific issues. Although I am aware of world events and political issues, I do not have any particular position on very many things. I am interested in observing the political process, and I always listen carefully to the arguments from both sides of an issue. I am also not easily offended, so there's not much that can be said to bother me.

That's cool how you transferred here your second year (like myself). Since you were a music major, I assume you play and instrument, which one?

I really like Pan's Labyrinth too! Folk music is an interesting genre, I wonder how you were introduced to it. I know I used to hate country music, but everyone on my high school track team listened to it and now its my favorite!
