bliumchikTHREE. Three SGHS people I did not expect in my classes. Not a one that I said a word to during high school, though (well, apart from this, KaYtEE), so I continue to find my New Writing BFFs elsewhere. Mostly boys, the last few classes. Perhaps it's a reaction to six years at an all girl's school?
Of the three classes I've had so far, Writing: Style and Structure is definitely going to be my favourite - which is a good thing considering this is the professional stream for the course I chose! The others are looking okay, though. Get this, a thirty percent assignment in Communication and Information Environments involves blogging. We have a small group that discusses the readings online each week, and in May we hand in our three best and three worst "responses", one time we kicked off the discussion, and a 500-word rationale on both. No, really.
I demonstrated my sad lack of brain-to-mouth filters in Rethinking Culture. The tutor asked us for examples of Cultural Texts (this is going to be a fairly wanky topic, I can tell). TV, books, advertisements... "Okay," he says, "I'm thinking of something a little more off-the-wall..."
And I blurt out "Graffiti!"
*silence*
"Because... it's... off the wall... um nevermind."
Tutor: "No, no, that's, yes, not what I was thinking of but certainly graffiti is a cultural text..."
That is a common occurrence for me. Captain O reporting, out.
