Days 21-23: Importance of Issue, Objectives

My grandma passed away on April 25, 2007. Therefore, Days 21-23 have been pretty hectic for me.

Nevertheless, I managed to bring along a book to read whenever I could and made some progress, although I didn't blog about it.

Most of what I have been reading these past few days was on semiotics. I found this very helpful in trying to help me with my introduction chapter. I rewrote (again!), part of the intro and also made some changes in my objectives.

I plan to get the mindmap look right before I delve into the details in actual writing than just bolstering ahead wildly like I did last time. I told myself I already have most of the materials I need for the intro chapter anyway. The most important thing is I need to get my foundation right.

Because if my research questions or my objectives are not clear, that would result in a lot of wasted time ahead down the road. So I keep tell myself to be patient.

Here is the latest revised version of my mindmaps. It has grown bigger from the previous version, so I have to split the map again.
