Student Blogs

Hello! It is really weird to be at the end of the semester as it has felt really short, especially in regards to this class. This is my final conclusion to this class, but first I want to thank everyone in the class for making amazing blogs. I  also want to thank all the people […] read full post >>

Hi all, if you don’t know who I am my name is Ryan. It’s not too late to ask for my autograph before I become famous. Let’s go back to the first lecture. I actually had no idea what Romance Studies was. I enrolled in this course because it has a cool name and fulfills […] read full post >>

For this week's blog post, I read... wait... there are no more books!!!?? I was genuinely tweaking because I thought there was another book for this week. Then, I realized this was the last week. I think I got so used to reading a book per week that I ... read full post >>

I’ve read 10 entire books! Probably more than I have ever read in a year, nowadays. I came into this course with the obvious idea that I will be reading many books, but I never thought it’d be this much. I think what I anticipated to have accomplished from this course has been done. That […] read full post >>

     Hey everyone! This class is coming to an end, and I can't believe this will be my last blog post. I've gotten so used to writing them every week that it'll feel strange not to do them anymore. I might have to start journalling ... read full post >>

Well, it has been quite the journey. I entered this course expecting to dislike 80% of it since I no longer knew how to read fiction. I quit reading fiction a long time ago. Also, literature courses have a reputation of being torturous. But boy, was I mistaken. The ability to choose my own grade […] read full post >>

Hi everyone!! This would be my last blog post for this class. I honestly feel proud of everyone and myself for reading all the books that we had contracted for, and I hope that we have at least found one novel that we resonate with! This course was definitely one of my favourite classes for […] read full post >>

I literally cannot believe I read 11 books for this class. I was never a big fan of literature classes back in high school and surprisingly this course turned out to be one of my favourite ones this semester. So many times throughout the semester I just wanted to break my contract because I just […] read full post >>

Hello everyone, welcome to my last blog post of the semester. We have made it to the end of our blog journey for this class which feels bittersweet. When we started the semester and I signed my contract it felt like the end was nowhere in sight but it went by faster than I could […] read full post >>

I am so relieved to have finally finished my literature requirements. This class was not what I expected, with the contract, flexible assessments, and ultimately, my newfound appreciation for reading. I am proud of myself for reading 10 books in 3 months which is something I never thought I would do. I enjoyed the structure […] read full post >>

Finally, my last post. Can’t even believe I made it through 11 books over the semester. In this course,  we actually touched on a lot of stories about memories. Regarding the memories of reading, I can still clearly remember the image of secretly reading The Romance of the Three Kingdoms during class in elementary school. […] read full post >>
