Oops.

So how's everyone doing? Discourse analysis is kicking my arse, and when I say "discourse analysis" I mean "trying to pin down what discourse analysis actually is". Waaaaaah.

I had a good meeting with my supervisors. Which was nice.

But I'm back at the "there is too much interesting stuff! I could write three dissertations on this!" Which is, you know, less than helpful.

Oh boy, do I know that feeling. My supervisor has been making a heroic effort for the last 2 years to get me to scale things down a bit and focus on something manageable, but the volume of theories and texts and disciplines that are implicated in my topic is still ridiculous.

Mine suggested the mantra TUNNEL VISION yesterday. Okay, she didn't suggest it in all caps, but that's how I heard it. I just nodded, because, yes, sensible, but then I wouldn't get to have fun with all the other stuff!
