Progress

For the past week I have been sick and sleeping a lot. I haven't had much motivation to do anything. The deadline is fast approaching and I am beginning to freak out a little ... Just a little ...

Today I am on page 16 of my literature review. I haven't even gotten to my 10 required articles. Verbose ... But it's my first draft ... I think we will be OK. I would rather start with too much than not have enough.

This week my goal is to have my literature review done. I know once that is complete I will be one the downhill slide ... I hope ... And pray ...

Pray for me! :)

What is art?

This is my final project for COML 502. I do not know that it will make as much sense to those who watch as it does to me. We were supposed to put something together examining those things we learned during our time on campus for Leadership & Imagination.

I put together a series of photographs, quotes, and movies that are particular to me. They focus on art and leadership, and some have particular meaning. Enjoy and I would enjoy your comments in response :D

On my way

I got an e-mail back and I am good to go. My adviser said all I need to do is attach a more clear theory of what I am going to base my project on and make sure I keep my focus narrow. So yesterday and today I have been researching theory. I think I found what I am going to add to my proposal and the theory that will define, in a sense, my project. 

The theory will be the Anxiety / Uncertainty Management Theory. William B. Gudykunst created the theory based upon Berger & Calabrese's Uncertainty Reduction Theory. However, his twist is on the focus of intercultural communication. 

I am excited to be moving forward. So far, I have been pulling all kinds of articles. There is a lot to build on. My goal is to write 10 pages per week and be mostly done and ready for first round edits by the first week of August. The final goal is to be done by the end of August :D
