After going to class yesterday, I felt a little like a fish out of water. After taking the pre-test, I definitely feel like a fish out of water. But, I am in this class to learn.
As to my strengths-well, I have always loved reading good literature (which is relative, I know). But, I enjoy reading good novels, fiction or non-fiction, and poetry. So, I am somewhat familiar with those. I find it interesting to analyze literature to see where the author seeks to take me.
As for my weaknesses-I am not familiar with literary terms or drama. Those are areas I need to direct more time to learn. Since this is my first blog post, I need to blog to get familiar with this type of social media. I hope to learn things about literature that either I do not remember or have not learned as of yet, because I enjoy reading good literature.
That is what I would like to read - is good literature.
It is still a bit daunting for me to be back in school after so many years away, but I too am in this class to learn. I am also excited about reading good literature, as well as sharing thoughts and ideas about that literature. I look forward to learning from everyone!
ReplyDeleteI was away from school for four years! One of the proofreaders in the French lab was like, "you've read more of these authors than I have. How did you have the time?" I replied, "I dropped out of school!"
ReplyDeleteBringing life experience and interdisciplinary focus never hurt anyone. And Blogger is fairly intuitive. :-)
I'm in the same boat as you, Dawn! I feel like I'm lacking fundamental terms, but like with many classes, I think it's just a matter of taking what you kind of already know and solidifying it and giving it a term or a proper place. I look forward as well to learning from you and the rest of our group.
