I've handed in 2 essays in the last couple of days: a 5000 word study on fans of My Chemical Romance for the Fandom module, as well as 3000 words on the way in which magazines create desire for the Consumption module.
I really enjoyed the fandom assignment, writing about the kind of thing that really interests me, plus it might of helped that I quite like the band too!
Consumerism wasn't quite as much fun as the fandom module, but it was really interesting to go through a massive pile of loads of magazines (like the issue of GQ up there) and look at them in a different way than I usually would.
Tomorrow is the Race and Ethnicity seen exam, for which I've chosen to answer one question on how 'Whiteness' takes up the position or ordinariness in Western Media, and another on the Blaxploitation genre of the 70's and issues of trans-coding.
After that, term one of year 2 will be over.
