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&#8217;m hoping this class will help me widen my horizons. I&#8217;m playing rugby here as well as studying so I don&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>I was born in Wales, then grew up in Dubai, so as I&#8217;m writing this, feeling cold and listening to the rain outside, I&#8217;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!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping to learn how to think about my feelings more deeply when I&#8217;m reading throughout this course, as while I do feel a lot when I&#8217;m reading, I don&#8217;t particularly dwell on my thoughts too much. I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Bye!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
