Haha!

My supervisor will be surprised. I actually handed in my Final Draft on time! Reasonably, even!

Still, I cannot believe that the best abstract definition of a social network, appropriate for use as a block quote within an essay was found on wikipedia. It's like every researcher felt that the concept was so self-explanatory that clearly no verbal description seemed necessary. Oh, plenty of pictures, don't get me wrong, but no actual verbal description. Closest I got was a family analogy.

Still, it's all done. I'm happy!

Well, this wasn't handing in thesis, this was handing in coursework essay, and that was on Social Network Analysis vs Communities of Practice (It ended up a draw).

My thesis (which I start work on next year), however, is on Online speech communities, and why techniques used for studying speech communities offline may not be appropriate for use with online speech communities.
