...so remember that meeting with my personal tutor?
she recommended I go for a mphil->phd program at oxford, cambridge or UCL in socioeconomic backgrounds to 18thC literature or celtic folklore.
And if I can't find funding for that, to put together a portfolio of research and approach a marketing/television for employment in a graduate scheme. She also suggested some practise based screen writing courses in America......
So I need to also put together a research portfolio and start applying for studentships/grad schemes.
My research portfolio ideas are currently:
IDK after seeing so many people on tumblr refer to Community as a positive/diverse show I want to do a discourse analysis - taking every fifth ep throughout the season and evaluate the number of lines characters of colour receive/what those lines are saying and how the audience would receive them (i.e. how many lines of Shirley's are about her religion/children)
I also want to do something w/ regards to citizen journalism in Palestine......once I can work out how to word to research/what I'm looking for.
And also how many newspapers in the West referred to the Occupy movement as rioting v protesting and how many reported on it negatively.
Right now I'm in the grip of work. I'm the meetings manager for our group project and while I'm not that stressed about it (and better me than the person who never shows up), I don't know, it feels like I'm doing a lot right now, because I am. I'm either sleeping or wrestling with Flash/Word and I'm tired a lot and it feels like I don't have energy for a lot of things. Thinking about my choices is one of those things I don't have time for and that's maybe why I've thrown myself into so much work. Really I just need someone to talk everything (choices, final projects, stress) over with, but I don't really have options for that outside of a couple of professors. My personal tutor for English has asked me to come see her again after Easter and to book an appointment to see the careers advisor, so I'm going to do that, and we have group tutorials later this semester, but I do feel kinda like I'm drowning. That's awful and so's the fact that I kinda miss therapy because it meant being able to talk things over with someone once a week every week...!
I D K. It's pizza & TV day tomorrow, so I am guessing we have time to talk things over then.
Arashi's post reminded me. I'm on plurk as Rigbone if anyone wants me over there.
