What I didn't mention in my last post is that my dissertation tutor is away at the moment. She returns two days before the deadline. She is apparently contactable by email though...
So, after a meeting with the undergraduate director for peace studies, I emailed her. On Monday. She hasn't replied. Today's job includes going into the department, finding someone, and holding them hostage until they help me*.
I've done the mini introductions and conclusions, and most of the spelling, and sorted out where the numbers for the foot notes should go in relation to the punctuation...and just about done the conclusion. But I'm still struggling on the introduction. Oh, and some guidence as to whether the thing is even vauglly good.
Meanwhile, I've been procrastinating. I went to the worlds most amazing camera shop, and they sorted me out with a macro photography set up for cheap by fitting a cannon to some obsucre lens adaptor ring, so my camera now takes m 42 lenses. Or any other lenses for that matter, as it's just a case of getting the right ring. I also have a reverser ring, so I can take photos through a 50mm lens put backwards on the camera. And a rather nice 165mm/f2 portrait lens, which is beautiful. The best thing about the shop was that they weren't trying to up sell me - they tempted me with things and then said "no, play with what you've got, then come back." Which I think is a bit unfair, as I now want what I can't have. Anyway, if you're interested in finding out the name/where this places is...email me.
*Discalimer: This isn't really my plan, if the news breaks that this has happened, it's not me, it's not my fault. I didn't do it.
