Hi everyone, welcome to my last blog of this semester. It was great to meet you all as well as read some of your blogs. Something very interesting and weird happened this week, so I was looking on Facebook marketplace for different houses because I am trying to relocate. I found this one room way off campus that had the option to sublet over the summer, and coincidentally it was a person in this same course! I just felt like I needed to share that lol.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyway back to the reflection for this term, I read 11 books!! It wasn\u2019t easy I\u2019ll tell you that. Some of the books were enjoyable and some were just miserable. But overall both the online lectures (which tbh I didn\u2019t watch every single one) and the in-person classes were very fun to attend and participate in. Earlier in the term, Prof mentioned how all the books were connected and had very similar themes which I found over the term to be true. I felt like the biggest themes all term was identity and love. This class format is honestly the best I\u2019ve ever experienced. The contract grading where you pick what grade you want, I absolutely loved. It took hard work and dedication as well as getting into a routine of writing my initial blog post of 400-500 words and then commenting on other classmates’ blogs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the start of the term, I\u2019m pretty sure I mentioned that I wasn\u2019t much of a reader and couldn’t decide if I was a \u201cgood\u2019 or \u201cbad\u201d reader. But over this term, I\u2019ve realized that I\u2019m not that bad of a reader, I\u2019m just a lazy reader and reading pieces of literature and novels isn\u2019t just something that I was meant to do. Am I ever going to read this many books in such a short amount of time? No, actually maybe but probably not. I also mentioned in my first blog \u201cMy goal is to get above this obstacle, develop a passion for reading and novels that will last a lifetime, and build a strong bond with literature.\u201d I didn\u2019t fully build a strong bond with literature, but it\u2019s a start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am taking another romance studies course this summer to complete my requirements for my degree, ah well. Although reading isn\u2019t my most fun activity to do, however this class, the big guy Mr Jon, my fellow classmates, as well as the format of the class discussions made this class a lot easier and enjoyable for me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
