About Me

My photo
Nancy Taylor
I am a sophomore at Syracuse University double majoring in English and Textual Studies with a concentration in Film and Screen Studies, and Art Photography. I am a "cinephile" as my mom likes to call it. My favorite movie is Harold and Maude and my favorite movie soundtrack is from the movie Into the Wild. I am interested in all aspects of film studies, including screenwriting. I am kind of a closet nerd (shh) and yes, I do enjoy writing English papers, which is okay because my future doctor friend actually gets pleasure out of reading about Biology (go figure!). Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn, but I hope this blog goes to eleven.
