Posting reading list? Kelly – have you figured out how the rest of us can participate in the Reading List over there on the right? I don’t think with blogger you can give us access to the template — or can you? If you get bored this week between writing papers, being a mom, aContinue reading “Posting reading list? Kelly – have you figured …”

Notable site Kelly – given the explorations of power that you are doing in your classes and in the post you put up last week, I thought you might enjoy this site that is about all things Foucault… It’s called Foucault Resources — dumb name but great site. May I suggest we put it inContinue reading “Notable site Kelly – given the explorations of …”

Experiences at uni This one isn’t so much a rant as an actual question to y’all… It seems I end up in classes all the time that have at least one person who is…what’s the PC term these days?…. “mentally disadvantaged”? I mean that literally, not ironically. In each semester at Concordia so far, IContinue reading “Experiences at uni This one isn’t so much a ran…”

Differences between “real” world and academia (Part 1) Okay where do I start? I think I’ll just be generally prolific today (i.e. spewing opinions)! So you’re warned! This is the first of many over the next few days… /rant on For Kelly’s post about learning through talking things out the way I think happens inContinue reading “Differences between "real" world and academia (Par…”

Reminder why i bother In reply to my own post earlier today, i must say, that the reason i bother.. I got to spend the afternoon at school, working [intermittently] on the research im working on. Through all the people who think that they are in university to express their opinions, and not necessarily toContinue reading “Reminder why i bother In reply to my own post e…”

Why Bother? I find myself constantly asking myself this question in respect to those people who go to University who [think] they already know everything thing. Im sitting in my media/tech/poli class and the prof is talking about the loss of rhetoric and metaphor in our society. The question posed to the class was alongContinue reading “Why Bother?

Academic Entertainment My Ethnolinguistics class can be dry at times – we are still looking at the historical debates in language development some 10,000 years ago… My professor added this in our reader – made me smile! http://www.icw-net.com/howto/funstuff/euroengl.htm

There’s a Time and a Place for Everything… Obviously, not everyone knows that! I couldnt agree with you more!! I think Sashay may have a few words on it as well heh! We went to go see the last samurai (i liked it alot despite tom cruise!) and the chatting .. not even whispering wasContinue reading “There’s a Time and a Place for Everything… Ob…”

Now for a change of pace… I’ve been reading with interest all of your thoughts and ideas, Kelly. Thought-provoking and amusing, but really not addressing the KEY issue of our time (which I, of course, shall introduce to the Blog): PEOPLE WHO TALK IN MOVIES (or people who shake popcorn bags, crinkle plastic and otherContinue reading “Now for a change of pace… I’ve been reading wit…”
