Work, work, work...

This week has been pretty productive. I have:

  • done overdue research at Special Collections
  • finished watching all of the first 8 seasons of This Hour Has 22 Minutes and determined which sketches and episodes I will focus on more closely
  • revisited the thesis introduction and worked on a new plan of attack
  • read other Canadian identity sources for Ch 1 & 2 of thesis
  • determined formatting guidelines accepted by CGSR


And tomorrow I will be taping episodes of 22 Min in order to do thorough analysis for Ch 5 and to provide additional examples for Ch 3 & 4. Sometimes I don't feel like I have really made much progress until I take a look back at what I actually did get done. I feel pretty good and motivated to keep working. I like this.

Happy Canada Day!!



Happy Canada Day!!


Although I will be going out tonight to celebrate Canada Day, today I will be showing my patriotism by studying and writing about Canadian identity for Chapter 5 of my thesis. Yay!
