So, I've been told to start my blog by saying "This guy I know thinks I'm fat". I'm terrible at introductions but I think I'll pass at that subject heading lol. However if I one day find out that "this guy I know" truely think I'm fat, he will go down :P.
On that note, we've been learning about discourses at university over the past two weeks. I'm still trying to make sense of it all in my head, but the "He will go down" comment reminded me of it. Basically, one of the things I've learnt about is the different discourses we have in our lives. So in the discourse I have with a certain group of friends, this talk is normal, non-offensive and just a bit of fun. Well at least I hope it is lol.
If I actually was smart, and it wasn't past 11:30 at night, I'd write a nice, interesting description on what discourses are and how they work in the classroom... but it is 11:53 and I didn't think I'd mention discourses in this blog.
So, I will leave you with my favourite Japanese poem from the Heian period by On No Komachi:
Did he appear
because I fell asleep
thinking of him?
If only I'd known I was dreaming,
I'd never have wakened.
