Been struggling with keeping up with the readings. They go on for so long and everything is something I want/need to google just to understand and learn about. Even when Bogost described the peppercorn chile, how fascinating! This aspect of participation is yet to be fully utilised, it will happen when we start discussing the readings – hopefully as I share my thoughts, my understanding of the text will become clearer to me.
Something I love doing is to explain (it’s more like a verbal dump) to my husband what I’ve learnt in classes, or what I’ve noticed. He has become quite good at it too, challenging me with questions that push my thinking. I feel like I have not yet got into the habit of noticing and thinking of relations – it seems to be too huge to even begin thinking about. Where do I start? Where do I go? I can begin at any intersection of the web of relations, and end up anywhere…
