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 >>

 Hello everyone! While I enjoyed reading books in this class and writing weekly blog posts, I am excited to be finishing up with all the work it required. I have definitely never taken a course quite like this before, but I think ultimately I enjo... 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 >>

Finally we’ve finished the year and done with this class! This semester flew by so fast compared to the first and I’m not complaining at all. I can’t wait to go back home and enjoy our 4 month long summer!! Overall this course was definitely interesting since it’s so different from my other courses. Having […] read full post >>

Hi everyone! Welcome back for the last time (for real this time). The semester is over—I can’t believe it. When people say that time in university flies by, they really are not lying.  Since I took RMST 201 last term, I was expecting the same class format, but I was pleasantly surprised by this class.

Hi everyone!! I can’t believe it’s the end of the term and the end of RMST 202. Second terms always seems to fly by. I can say my expectations for this course were that it would be similar to RMST 201 which I took last year. I can definitely say that this course was quite […] read full post >>

Hello everyone, I can’t believe how fast time has gone by and that this is actually my last blog post! With 11 readings and 13 blog posts, I have finished this course with much gain and insight! From the beginning of the term, when I set myself a goal of finishing 11 books, I doubted […] read full post >>

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 >>

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. First of all, the setup was quite different from the usual classes – the contract grading. It was entirely about self-discipline, which was a […] read full post >>

I can’t believe its my last post! I have throughly enjoyed this little community we’ve all created and reading everyone’s blogs. This course was so unique and probably one of my favourite courses I’ve taken! I’ve never done grade contracting before and was a bit hesitant when I contracted to read 11 books. But now […] read full post >>

Hello FOLKS! Last one. Wow. I have learned that when I am reading the book the way that I see it in my head and the messages I get from it aren’t always the same as what other people are … Continue reading → read full post >>
