My name is Mark Loveland and I just started as a freshman at UNC. I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, but spent a good portion of my childhood living in Houston, Texas. I was born to two UNC alumni, so I like to think I live up to the "Tarheel born, Tarheel bred" mantra pretty well. This semester, I'm also enrolled in POLI 89, GERM 101, HIST 159, and LFIT 109, so let me know if we're in any of the same classes.
As far as my hobbies are concerned, I enjoy acting, politics, European history, and studying trial law (that is, to the extent that you can do so before law school). I hope to pursue a Political Science or History major, and my dream job is to have some exciting job in the Justice Department or a US Embassy in an interesting country. That being said, I really love to read, and have a special fascination with French and German literature (Proust and Mann being two of my favorites). Based on what little I've read about the books we read in this class, I'm most excited about The True History of the Kelly Gang and Gould's Book of Fish. I've enjoyed UNC a whole lot so far, and I'm ready for my classes to really start up. I look forward to getting to know all of you in Intro to Fiction!
Mark
