The exploration of Greek myth has always intrigued me, although I am not very enlightened in the subject. I find it interesting how these myths have kept living throughout the years. There is still a power behind them and the stories are still relatable.You just have to find the way in which they are to yourself.

What I hope to take away from this course is more knowledge on the subject. I have taken an "Exploring the Goddess" class at my home school in Chicago and it really help me find myself more, and questions things in life such as: religion, my beliefs, where I stand, what kind of Goddess I most fall under etc. With this class I am lucky because not only will a gain a new out look I'm sure on myself, but I will also get credit for my minor in Women's Studies. So it is a win, win situation for me.

 I find when taking a class like this, you are often in for more than a treat about self-finding then you expect. I also want to learn more about the stories and the history. How we have related that history to our life in the now and to make up our own history surrounding these myths, much like we have with religion in the present. I very much like that we will be using our campus of Roehampton to see how myth and heroes relates so much in the Neo-Classical era.

The course seems fun and exciting and our professors seemed excited to teach us about something she is so passionate about. When coming across classes like this and professors like that, it always helps with making courses more likable and easier to learn and absorb knowledge. Over all with the class I hope I learn something new and I hope I have a nice time while doing so. This is my first time out of the country and I just want to take in everything that Roehampton, London and Europe have to offer me. Cheers!
