Gloomy Ms. XY is going to meet her thesis advisor tomorrow, after Daylight Savings Sunday. Losing one hour for my summer.
I am trying to figure out what exact topic I want to explore in my thesis (yes, I just started to think about this in a serious way, I have been wasting my time for TWO MONTHS!), and currently I am favoring for doing interview or research, but hopefully that's not too far away from documentary theme, which is what my dear advisor good at.
Also interested in Critical approach, I googled this article from Google Scholar the other night, and was reading it for the past two hours. This is really good, explained me about the history and key persons in the development of CDA, Critical Discourse Analysis.
Since I took the course Sociology of Gender last Spring, luckily I know someone mentioned in this paper, Judith Butler. and I read another article about her comments on Kafka's scripts, which recalled my pleasant memory of reading her paper then. I am in for her opinions, and for the article about CDA, I guess I still can spend a lot of time tangling with her proposal about performance versus performativity.
Went to shopping with my roommate yesterday, because Forever 21 is newly open after relocation and decoration, much fancier and gorgeous now! Also, GAP is on sale, http://s.gap2550.com/coupon.html?utm_source=BuzzMedia&utm_medium=NonMobile&utm_campaign=Gap2550
this is really awesome, you can apply this coupon even after the additional 30% off tops they are having now. I spent $28 to get things with original price of $67. I am definitely aware that all the on sale stuff is like cheating, they still get profit anyway, but isn't is wonderful that I can show people a receipt indicating that I saved about $39 while swiping my mommy's credit card?
Post the status in my FB after shopping, because I think this is quite funny and universal for girls:
