Hello again readers!

I have spent
a good amount of time jibber jabbing about all sorts of neat things I get to do
here at SIUC… but let me get down to the real meat N’ potatoes of what it takes
to be a Saluki Graduate student… the wonderful and wooly bearded thesis
monster!

Here at
SIUC, the world is your oyster! You have
so many opportunities to study what you are most interested in and we have some
top notch professors that will help you carry that education football all the
way to the finish line. The most tried
and true option we have here is to identify a problem and jump into it with
both feet. To solve this problem you do
enough research to make a Billy goat puke and when you have gathered enough
information (as if there was such a thing as enough) you transform that
knowledge and research into some sort of built form. Voila!
But is it
really that simple? H-E-double hockey
sticks no it isn’t! The time it takes to
do the research and the paper is pretty overwhelming, especially at the level
your professors are asking you to achieve.
What is my
thesis? I’m happy you asked!
I’m doing
something a Lil’ different. Instead of
having a building at the end of my research rainbow I’m going full speed into
Theory. Here is an image of my thesis

I am really
excited about studying this topic for my thesis. How communication has worked on the urban
fabric has changed since social media has become a thing. This topic is fresh and new and unfolding
before our very eyes as I’m typing this.
I really look forward to seeing what comes of this. I’m sure I will be writing more about this as
the semesters fly by but until then, Cheers.
