Over the years, I have taken quite a few classes. A lot are random interests of mine. I have taken Drawing, Literature, Making Monsters, Geography, Hero’s Journey, Mass Extinction and LGBTQ Studies. I think my favourite of them all was Making Monsters, a study of how historically humans have projected their fears into monsters.
I rarely finish the textbooks for these classes – Mass Extinction being the exception, I’d highly recommend the Sixth Extinction – and have quite a collection of unfinished textbooks. I am trying once again to finish them, by reading at a pace of a chapter a day.
I have begun with my LGBTQ class’s textbook. I began from the beginning, as it has been quite a while since that class. I am already through the first section, the part about the historical contexts of homosexuality and transpeople from different parts of the world. As someone rather intrigued by looking at World War II from different perspectives, I found that bit most interesting.
