Hi everyone,

My name is Maaike and this will be my blog for the coming year. I am currently at a loss for what to write as my introduction so I guess I will begin with my reasons for taking ArtsOne. I have chosen ArtsOne because I love literature and philosophy (the reading list really sealed the deal for me). I also chose the program because I thought the smaller class size would provide a much more fun and interesting environment for discussion as well as getting to know other like minded people. Facts about me: I love food (the most prominent exceptions being olives and pickles), I enjoy fencing, my favourite genre, both for literature and film, is fantasy and I work in a bakery. I look forward to getting to know everyone throughout the year.
