Hey everyone!<\/p>\n
Nice to meet you all. My name is Emma, and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone over the next couple of months.<\/p>\n
I grew up in Alberta, and have lived in Vancouver for just over 2 and a half years now. So far, it’s been really great and I am really enjoying my time at UBC. Currently, I am minoring in International Relations, but I hope to switch that to my major this year because I enjoyed all the classes I have taken towards it so much! (wish me luck getting in, I will need it) Requirements for IR include “area studies,” which are interdisciplinary groups of classes focused on one geographical region. I (enthusiastically) chose to study South America, which is why am I taking this course. Latin American Studies appealed to me specifically based on the brief time I spent learning South American history in previous classes. I am particularly fascinated by movements for self-determination, though I also am interested in history as it pertains to “small” events in every-day life.<\/p>\n
Outside of academia, I really enjoy reading, caring for my plants, and getting deeply invested in television to an unjustifiable degree (if anyone has thoughts on The Sopranos…. PLEASE tell me).<\/p>\n
Cheers and see you Wednesday,<\/p>\n
