travel lit so far is just a bunch of babble to make us wonder what he smoked before class

My travel lit professor criticized blogs the other day. i forgot exactly what he said, but it was towards the fact that anyone can have a blog and write stuff on the internet. well i'm sorry if you come across my blog by mistake and have to read my uneducated babble. I don't really have a reason for a blog and i don't really know why i insist on keeping it. it's like an online journal. i guess i feel that there is no point in writing in a journal if no one is going to read it. I wrote a journal two summers ago and reread it last summer and it was pretty informative to how i was feeling and it was nice to read again, but i haven't been able to pick it up to write in it again. i should though.

so it's about three weeks into the second semester of my fourth year at University of Waterloo. As i may have mentioned in a previous blog i am taking three lit courses and one geography. Mennonite lit has some good readings so far. We took some time to discuss the mennonite faith and then read some short stories and tomorrow we start with our first novel, Peace Shall Destroy Many by Rudy Wiebe. Today my big goal was to finish the book, and i did, all 141 pages left to read were read. i have smaller readings for Canadian lit to do for tomorrow but i will probably succeed in getting them done tomorrow before class. And shortly i should start reading my books for travel lit.

Travel lit is an interested class so far. i don't know whether to laugh at his jokes or be annoyed that he's wasting my money by doing nothing in class but watch videos. Actually we do do more, however, it consists of him standing infront of the class making us wonder what he smoked before he came to teach. i'm curious about what we are actually going to be learning in that class. The first class was a waste of time and during the second class i started writing down a travel experience because that is something that we might be able to do for one of our essays. i'm not sure what to think of it, the story that i have started and the class. i'm always nervous that when i try something different its not what the proff is looking for. But this guy said that as long as it was entertaining it should be acceptable.

i started a new hobby of hemp. i went to michaels today and bought a spool of hemp and some beads. i looked up on the internet how to do some typical knots, because as a child who had to endure an hour bus ride each morning, i learned how to make other types of bracelets by knoting. i got quit good i must say. i've made a few necklaces so far and look forward to making more, however, i lack the creativity to make each new one look different.
