BJORN: It’s actually 10:35 pm, December 11th at the time of finishing this post. Not sure why the time stamp says the 12th.
Today was quite the mental workout. In the morning, I finished what became a 25 page research paper on gender coding in Toyota advertising. It was actually quite interesting analyzing print texts. Because it is a multinational, and large corporation in general, it must appeal to a broad customer base. Representations of women ranged from sophisticated with authority in the household, to mere objects of sexual desire. For men, Toyota represented them as elemental, rugged and fun-loving, more apt to relinquish their societal inhibitions and do childish things. That paper was due at noon.
To celebrate, I just finished what became an 8 page dialogue concerning American pop culture and its dissemination abroad. Wonderful stuff. That one is due ultimately at midnight tonight, but I was able to finish and pass it in not too long ago. An extended nap is in my immediate future. Excuse me while I go take a coma.
Anyway, finals are next week. As a result this weekend will be quite chock full of super studying and such. Joy!
I live on the edge like you have no idea.
