Before we are even born, most of our parents spend months deciding on what we will be named. Names are important because they distinguish one person from another. Not only does the name of a person distinguish them from another, but I also found that the name of one person's blog separates them from another person's blog.
In September when I made this blog, one of the first things asked was to create a name/title for my blog page. At the time, I was not thinking creatively (of course this has changed due to the exposure of theory) and decided to tentatively name my blog "Melissa's Blog on Theories." It was not until my recent post, entitled "Backtracking," where I have finally come up with a permanent title for my blog. In my last post, I stated that because of the Christmas Holidays, I may begin having withdrawals from theory and therefore will have to get a weekly dose of theory from occurrences that happen in my real life. Then it hit me, like a ton of bricks .....
"A Dose of Theory"

Backtracking
WOW! I cannot believe that we have completed 1/2 of literary theory .... and I managed to survive!!
Over a month ago, I had blogged about the Sleeping Giant and the song contest. As of November 23rd, the results were posted on http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/songquest/. The Sleeping Giant along with other locations such as Grand Bend, Picton, Toronto, and Algonquin Park were all nominated to have someone compose a song about the location. Unfortunately, the Sleeping Giant did not win the contest. The winner was Algonquin Park and a song by Hawksley Workman is being composed at the moment. Viewers are able to listen to a sample of the song on the website listed above and are also able to purchase the tune on iTunes. Also, for those of you who read this post, the winners of each province and territory are also available to listen to. Go Check It Out!!
In regards to the assignment on Psychoanalysis, to me, it was the most challenging assignment out of the 5 written this semester. On a positive note, it was also the best mark I have received! ... Strange how things turn out in the end
Last class yesterday! WOW cannot believe how fast this semester flew by. Looking back on the first day of theory, everything seemed so complex and frustrating (I managed to not pull out all of my hair) ... although I still do have some of these feelings.
I have learned so much this semester and look forward to January. I might actually start having withdrawals from theory over the Christmas holidays! To get a weekly dose of theory, I will be on the lookout for examples of theories in the real world!
Happy Holidays!! :)
