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!
