Not Ready for a Ghost Town.

Student 24's picture

I've not finished thinking about and discussing eco-literacy. I'm not ready to wrap things up, and though these past few weeks I've been almost continuously engaged in conversations about almost everything, in the framing of ecological thinking, conversations which have directly and indirectly been self-evaluative, critical, appreciative, and nostalgic - I cannot at this point in time put it all down on paper. Writing this paper means I've come to a calm enough resting or stopping point, and the truth is I haven't yet. Maybe tomorrow or over the summer or in a few semesters, I can go back and write this, but not today. I can't express how grateful I am to have taken this course, which is why I want to keep taking advantage of the platforms that have been introduced to me and the platforms which I have come across within myself. I still have so much to say and so much I want to hear from people around me.

P.S. I've decided not to change my banner photo from Play in the City last semester. I rather like it and I haven't changed my opinion about what it means to me, so I'm quite satisfied leaving it there. I wrote: "I have no idea what business the name belongs to, but that doesn't matter because I don't know the story anyway. I just know that it's a snapshot of a point in my story." Points and center points. Relationships in the shared spaces between us - that's my eco-literacy theme.
