It’s almost 1 am and I’m sitting at Memorial library with a cluster of pens/highlighters and a cup of coffee from Espresso Royale.
Why am I writing at the moment? Well, to tell you the truth, I need to write to stay on top of my thesis and be proactive in my research.
The past week has been, for a lack of a better word, cumbersome. I was confronted with 3 long assignments that drove Microsoft Office and the UW-Madison library system to become my two best friends.
Still, I found time to figure out, in part, what I would like to do for my senior honors thesis. The topic : Twitter. The focus: 24 hours in crisis communication.
I’ll spare you the boring details about the project for the time being.
I’m happy that I pushed myself to take an additional class in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. The class, Communication Research Methods, is beyond helpful when understanding and designing research methods. It’s challenging, but worth the reward. If you want to know what I’m talking about, just visit the course website for more information.
But back to the thesis…
Both my book for the journalism class and a book I purchased for my senior honors thesis are helpful. The later of the books would be beneficial for any student who is or will eventually write a thesis in the near future. The book image on the right will take you to the Amazon website for details about the book.
OK, I actually need to get to bed.
