Week 13- Conclusion
Posted by: jasmeent
Hello everyone!! So sad to say this is our last blog post I honestly cannot believe it. Overall this semester just flew by I am honestly shocked we are going into our last week. I always feel like the second semester always moves faster than the first. Overall out of this whole semester, this was one of my favorite classes. It was a nice break from all my psychology courses and textbook readings. This course gave me the chance to explore different texts, learn new reading styles, and expand my...read more read full post >>
Another Conclusion
Posted by: Arella
I must say it felt like yesterday when I first looked at my Semester 2 timetable and wondered why romance studies takes place in the math building (as well as trying to find it, confusing the mathematics annex for the math building, and nearly being late for the first class because I’m bad with directions).

I still can’t believe the semester is already coming to an end, and this is my final blog post! 、 Honestly, at the beginning of the semester, I was quite worried.

I can’t believe its my last post! I have throughly enjoyed this little community we’ve all created and reading everyone’s blogs.

Posted by: jennifer li
Yay! This is my final blog post, and I’m feeling bittersweet. I really enjoyed this class, and I think our classroom discussions sparked many meaningful conversations that were different from my usual classes. In my other classes, we typically just attend, listen, do our work, and leave. With this class, I’m very glad I had … Continue reading WOOO MY LAST BLOG WOOOO read full post >>

Faces in the crowd, liars, legs, sense of belonging
Posted by: Ryan Tsang
Last book of the course 😀 (I wrote this before watching the video lecture) First of all, I want to say that I enjoyed this book. It was a fun read but it took me about 30 pages to get used to the “jumping between stories” thing. My first impression was, “wow, this woman is […] read full post >>
