Welcome to my blog! I am a third year student currently living in a small town in the Kootenays. (That’s 10 hours East of Vancouver, or 4 hours East of Kelowna, for those of you who don’t know your BC Geography!) I am majoring in Cultural Studies and English. After graduating with a Bachelor Of Arts degree, I then plan on going to a teacher education program and would like to become an elementary school teacher.<\/p>\n

In my free time, when I’m not busy with school work and my job, I enjoy reading, cooking, yoga, tea, cats, travelling, and spending time with my friends, family, and pets!<\/p>\n

I am taking this course, because I believe it will be interesting, as I took a previous Canadian Literature course, which I really enjoyed. Plus it’s nice to learn more on topics about your own country. I believe that this course will be useful to me once I become a teacher. I also really like the blogging aspect. I think it’s a really creative idea, because in most online courses there are just discussion posts and there is something about blogging I find that is really fun and allows you to really open up!<\/p>\n

I expect that in this Canadian literature course, we will be focusing particular attention to Indigenous people and the effects colonialism<\/a> had and, in some instances, still has on their lives. In the early times of colonialism in Canada there have been lots of incidents of violence and racism, and it’s good that now much of current Canadian literature covers these topics. I hope we might also cover topics, such as Canadian identity<\/a> and who we are as a country.<\/p>\n

I’ll end this blog post with a cute photo of my new kitten named Twilah, who I adopted from the SPCA on Saturday! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I hope to get a lot out of this course, and I am really excited to get to know all of you!<\/p>\n
