So today I had my first lecture about dissertation. When I first started uni, I was BEYOND petrified by the thought of writing 8,000 words.. Now it's come to that time and while I'm still quite worried, I'm also slightly excited. Not only does it signal that my time in education is coming to an end, but it's also time for me to go out and find a job that I'd love to do. What excites me the most about writing the dissertation is the fact I get to write about something that interest me, which means I'm more more likely to focus on the task.
Since last year I've had an interest in formats and how they've taken over our TV's but in particular Reality Television. It's now a massive part of our lives and because of this, I've decided for my dissertation I want to look at Reality TV and how it has changed societies values. I think this will be a really good topic to cover, due to it's popularity, I'm sure there will be countless material on the matter but also because it's become such a big phenomena being able to discuss this subject in detail should hopefully help me with future job prospects!
For the present however, it's time to get reading...
