Concluding Blog Post

I can’t believe this is already the final week of the semester. I feel like my term went by so quickly. With that being said, looking back on my first Romance Studies class, I’m glad that I was able to encounter many books that I would have never put my hands on otherwise. Although I […]

So long WordPress.com

This will be my final blog for the semester, crazy! This year has flown by so fast. I think after reading a book a week for the semester, except for one, I’ve definitely found a new love for novels that aren’t just romance or short-stories. I can say I’ve come to realize that my reading […]

Cheers! (raise a glass of your favourite drinks pairing)

At the beginning of this semester, I was hesitant to admit something: this semester I’ve read more books than I ever have in even a year. It’s somewhat embarrassing, but it’s also been a revelation. It’s shown me that I am capable of reading a book a week, even though I’ve always considered myself a […]

adiós, au revoir, tchau!

Final week, final blog! In a blink of an eye, I have somehow managed to read 11 books; it certainly doesn’t feel like it somehow. I have a feeling that this blog is going to go over the word count so I’m going to jump straight into it. First off, to get the negativity out […]

Thoughts on all the thoughts so far

It’s crazy to think that this semester is almost over and that I’ve basically read a book for almost every week of this year so far. I have to admit that I didn’t join this class for any great or noble reason like some others, rather it was a suggestion from a friend that it … Continue reading Thoughts on all the thoughts so far

Hasta la vista

Unfortunately, the class has come to an end but it has been a remarkably enriching journey for me. As a student of political science and economics, my academic journey has largely been dominated by the necessity to engage with texts on theories and models, aiming for academic success in my exams. Initially chosen to fulfill […]

Concluding Post – Week 13

April 9th, 2024 Here we are, the end of the road (or the course). This course has truly changed my approach to literature. It has helped me grow as a reader, and express my thoughts and opinions freely. I have been re-reading all of my blog posts throughout the term in order to take a […]

THE END!!! (at least my literature requirements are completed)

I can’t believe this is our last post, I literally remember writing my first blog post on proust, on my way to Vancouver, this has been an interesting journey for sure. I took RMST courses both semesters, and I’m definitely looking forward to taking more in the future! This course was an escape from my […]

end of a journey

This has been one of the most unique courses I have ever taken at UBC. Every single book was such a novel challenge. At the beginning of this term I was scared that I wasn’t going to be able to keep up with all the reading, and was especially worried that my comprehension of the […]

time fliesss

Hey everyone! I can’t believe that we’re wrapping up and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. First things I’ll say are that the books I’ve read in this class definitely challenged me and that the freedom we had in this class was refreshing. Not only were certain vocabulary or syntax […]
