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!

What's your thesis on?

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.

The icon so incredibly, utterly, totally makes this post. XD

KIRBY WINS!

Ha! I have found you. And now protocol demands that I friend you, and you friend me. Assuming of course, you remember who I am. :)

And so I can pretend to be relevant, I will say congratulations on handing up your essay draft.

Ah! I was intending to ask your LJ name next time I saw you... I'd actually intended to ask you last time I saw you, but naturally forgot. Such is my head.

But yes, of course I remember who you are :)
