So Far...

So far my attempts to love this city have been idealistic and not realistic. I think that I'm at least seeing Edmonton  in a new light but when it comes to experiencing it's "glory" I find that it still falls short. There's always something that irks me, whether it's nature or structure depends on the day. However, I have been surprised by the history of Edmonton that I've been discovering in this class. I definitely never would have guessed that Edmonton had such interesting subcultures and art movements. A lot of these things are not known by most of the people I talk to so it's interesting to learn about it. I am very much so one of those people that spout off useless information to everyone I know, so other people's minds are being enriched about Edmonton as well. This class has been proved to be rather far reaching.
One of my favourite concepts I've learned about is definitely city space. It really has changed the way I view movement and space in Edmonton.The combined efforts of understanding the history and changing my view of the city has definitely made myself much more fond of the city. Using the two different philosophies of drifting and moving and tracking my experiences has made me more curious about Deadmonton. I want to be able to exist in the city with purpose and know how I impact the environment rather than "ghosting" on through. I stick to the same paths and locations but I intend on branching out on warmer days.
