After our first meeting today, I am quite intrigued and excited to learn about the “Goblin Market”. I have no prior knowledge and still am not sure what exactly it is but the name alone has piqued my interest. I am always fascinated by the various academic and scholarly platforms/archives Dr. Janzen introduces to us. This is my second class with her and it is always interesting to discover new mediums or forums available to us in academia that previously I never would have known existed. I am also looking forward to exploring A Christmas Carol. Personally, I have never read the novella, I am only familiar with the story from the animated movie starring Jim Carrey and as a child, I was terrified of it. So, I am looking forward to exploring it with more maturity and removing any negative associations I have with it.
Regarding my overall impressions of the class and its structure, I am extremely worried about Zoom fatigue. Two hours is a long to be actively engaged...
