Done, Done, and Done

21 01 2004

Well, I submitted my Masters thesis yesterday. I completed two years to the day after I commenced - how Virgoan of me. Now we wait for the examiners’ reports to come in, but we try not to think about that. And might I say, cheap champagne never tasted so good!

Sadly, this is the end of a long love affair with the University of Queensland (I have spent a total of 10 years as a UQ student). So it’s goodbye to the sandstone, goodbye to the green expanses, but it’s hello to brand spanking new facilities at QUT’s Faculty of Creative Industries, where I’m taking up an award to do my PhD in a little under two weeks.

The best thing about all of this is that I finally get to move onto the project that has been simmering away here at my blog and in the better part of my brain. Can’t wait.

Thanks everyone. Tim, a (very) rough outline of my proposed phd research is at http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/creativitymachine/phd_proposal.html

It’s not so much a project proposal as a topic description at this point.

Mediascape

The idea of the Mediascape means that we live within or inhabit a world of visual signs that enframe
