Hey guys, I'm Patrick Smith, an Oklahoma transfer/born and raised Texan! I'm in my third full year at OU, although I'm only ~30 hours away from graduating (hooray?). I'm a journalism major, sports management minor, and I hope to one day be a sports broadcaster for baseball games.

Baseball is one of my passions; I live and breath the Texas Rangers. In the summer of '13, a friend and I went cross country to see every Major League ballpark in America and Canada. Due to class starting so early in August for us, I only got to 24 of them, but she saw all 30 by the end of September!

We met some amazing people on our trip, many who let us stay at their house/apartment free of charge. For anyone interested in backpacking, or just travelling in general, Couch Surfing is a great app filled with great people who share the same passion for travel and adventure!
During the most recent semester, I did radio color commentary for the Westmoore Jaguars football team to kick off my broadcasting career. I was fairly positive I wanted to do commentating for sports before I got this opportunity, but once I had my feet under me I was 100% sure it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
I'm taking this course because I've always had an interest in mythology, and learning about the myths of old seemed like a great way to finish my last gen-ed requirement! After taking a bunch of courses I cared nothing about, it'll be a nice change to take one that I actually have an interest in!
