It's not that I hate people. I love people. It's not that I'm introverted and hate being social. I like being social! I think it's because I'm just not the type of person who likes to spend a lot of time following people and magic unicorns and birds and farms on a computer. I'd just rather talk to someone's face than to a computer screen.
Yeahhhhhh.....no.
My dislike of social learning began last semester when I took a Shakespeare class and was required to blog at least twice a week for it. My first blog. I didn't like it at first because I wasn't exactly sure of what we were supposed to be doing with it...I don't know. I just had a hard time getting it. It was kind of a bummer cause I do enjoy Shakespeare...
Buuut, I'm not one who gives up at the first sign of a challenge, so I'm going to try again. I think I'll be more successful this time because even though I didn't always enjoy blogging last semester, it did give me valuable experience. Oh weird, I just realized that was a class learning outcome. Learn how to use social media. Well done, Professor Burton, well done.
It's weird though, because I thought I would be able to avoid all of this social media because it's just for social use, right? Wrong. I've only ever had to use it for academic purposes. When did this stuff start becoming academic??? What's next? Pinterest??
On the other hand, I am SOOO excited to learn about Latin American humanities for the following reasons:
A) I LOVE Latin America. The people, the culture, the music, the food, dancing...you name it.
B) I really, really like art and stuff. I took my very first art class last semester and it was almost the best thing that's ever happened to me.
So, here goes! Whatever happens, it's gonna be good.
