Reward & Recognition
I have an exam tomorrow for Sociology of the Media and Pop Culture, which has been an interesting subject. Whilst a little undergraduate in content, it’s thrown up some good analyses of audience and consumerism.
As a reward to myself for having seen off two subjects this semester, I plan to purchase the latest Murray Whelan installment from Shane Maloney, and one of two Kevin Rudd biographies now in book stores.
I’ll also have weekends and nights freer to spend with the lovely wife, whom I admit hasn’t had as much attention from me lately as she should; I’ve been in an academic funk and will be glad to come to the surface over the next four weeks while I take a study break.
I already have the reader for one of my subjects for next semester and it looks to be a cracker, so here’s hoping the motivation to study gets a boost in the second half of the year.
