Hi everyone! My name is Maxene. I go by she\/they pronouns. \u00a0I, like you are taking RMST 202 with Jon and boy am I excited. I am a second-year transfer student from the University of Calgary, I also call Calgary home. \u00a0I hope to be a sociology major but for now I minor in Law and Society… and maybe family studies, we will see. I hope after I complete my undergraduate to go to law school or go into social work, wherever the universe takes me. I aspire to be either a family lawyer or a social worker that works with teens. I’m a very passionate individual when it comes to my studies so beware, if you ask about my major and future plans I may never stop talking. I really enjoy going to the gym on this very campus and I also really enjoy cooking and baking to pass the time.<\/p>\n
I do indeed like to read so I am very excited to be graded on the amount of books I read. I for one did not know what romantic studies even was before I signed up for this course but after watching the recorded lecture and conversation I am rather interested to see how this course goes. I do know a little French but if you were to try and converse with me I may be really bad. I’m also very excited to read literature I probably wouldn’t read outside of class. Looking at the readings of this class I can already see some texts that I may find so riveting that I cannot put it down and also some that may be harder to pick up.<\/p>\n
When it came to the recorded lecture I found it so interesting that Jon calls romantic studies a “Bastard (Anti-) Discipline”. I think to know that all these languages are tied due to their supposed roots but also are connected in the ways that make them different is rather interesting as an aspiring sociologist. As a filipino I have some bastardized ties to Spain and Spanish as well and as a Canadian who spent her whole life learning French I also have ties to French and I feel like to take a romantic studies course will give me a perspective I did not previous have into these cultures; how they differ, how they connect and also how they tie to me as an individual.<\/p>\n
I cannot wait to discuss with you all and see how you view the texts we read!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
