Hello again! In case you don't know, my name is Shelby Brown and I am a senior at OU (I plan to graduate in May!). I'm a psychology major and secretary of the Psychology Club, but this semester I'm taking quite a few classes outside of psychology in subjects that interest me (like this one!). So far I've had a great time in this class (Mythology and Folklore). I'm also taking my senior Capstone class, Officiating Spring Sports, an online seminar in cognitive neuropsychology, Women Creating Social Change (another online class), and a half-semester online course called Sociology of Family.
I'm the oldest of five kids. My sister, Tiphanie will be turning 20 this year and has a son, my nephew Preston, who will be turning 1 year old on Sunday! My sister Brittany (almost 15) is a freshman in high school and plays basketball. My brother Gary Brent (I call him Bubba) is 6 years old and my youngest sibling, Maggie, is 5. I currently live with my boyfriend Alex, our friend Michael, and Alex and I have a cat named Sweetie.

I enjoy a variety of activities including reading, writing, and sports. I like to read young adult and fantasy novels. The Harry Potter series is probably my favorite of all; I'm currently re-reading the series for the first time and I just started the Half-Blood Prince. I think everyone likes to find some fantasy world that they wish they could live in and the wizarding world is mine. As mentioned in a previous post, I would really love to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter someday. I've played quite a few sports from softball when I was really young to soccer to basketball (from 4th grade to my freshman year of high school) to volleyball to cross country and track.
I am a huge Disney kid, having grown up during the golden age of Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Toy Story, etc. I know tons of Disney songs/movies by heart and quote them at times. During the break I was working my way through all the Disney movies, but now that school has started, I may not have time to finish it (at least not very soon). I also recently became a huge Doctor Who fan over the summer, but I've only had time to watch series 5-7 (the 11th Doctor/Matt Smith series) because of time constraints from school. With little leisure time during the semester, I find it difficult to decide between reading Harry Potter, watching Doctor Who, watching Disney movies, and starting new books, TV series (like Once Upon a Time), and movies.
