For instance, you could say:
My name is Michael Caulfield. I'm from Keene, NH. I am taking this course primarily for fun -- I've always been interested in this topic, and I read a lot about Physical Anthropology in my work, but I've never had a full course on the subject. So I'm looking forward to the breadth.
