About Me

Hello everyone. My name is Marlin Earp and this post is meant to tell you a little bit about myself. First of all, I am a Junior here at Carolina. I am majoring in History (concentrating on American history) and I am thinking of double majoring in History and either Political Science or Women's Studies. I want to go to law school when I graduate, and I have recently been preparing to take the LSAT. I live at the Verge Apartments in Durham, but my family is in Angier, NC. Angier is a very small town about 20-25 miles south of Raleigh, so thankfully I am not far from home. I enjoy reading essayist works by David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs, deep-sea fishing (yes, I was named after the billfish by my sportfishing father), and getting lots and lots of sleep. I look forward to this literature class because one day I wish to write a novel (I haven't decided yet whether it will be fiction or non-fiction), and understanding how previous authors have conveyed their ideas into print is of much interest to me.
