Hi!

Hi! My name is Cat.

I already wrote this once but I accidentally deleted it because I’m technologically incompetent. Which is not a good sign for my future blog posts…

I’m a psychology student in my fourth year, hopefully graduating this semester unless I’ve really screwed something up. I loved reading when I was growing up; the first book I read was actually Harry Potter (sorry Professor Beasley-Murray) and that began my love of reading about magical, fantastical worlds. I’m hoping this class will help me widen my horizons. I’m playing rugby here as well as studying so I don’t usually have much time for reading but it will be nice to be able to read a book as my homework for the week.

I was born in Wales, then grew up in Dubai, so as I’m writing this, feeling cold and listening to the rain outside, I’m feeling quite homesick, especially having just visited home for the past two weeks. The good thing is that rain and snow and wind make perfect weather for reading a book in bed with a cup of tea!

I’m hoping to learn how to think about my feelings more deeply when I’m reading throughout this course, as while I do feel a lot when I’m reading, I don’t particularly dwell on my thoughts too much. I’m also looking forward to reading some more advanced literature and learning to appreciate these books, as the passion I see people like our Prof express is something I would love to experience.

Bye!
