2 months ends tomorrow

Tomorrow will be my final exam for Semiotics then I will be good to go! YAY! (Going where? Nowhere really, but nonetheless, yay!) At exactly 6PM I will walk out of the SE gym with relief on my face, and maybe a pinch of worry... but more on relief. I will be done Summer school 2009.

But for now... I am studying. I am learning all these definitions that I will probably forget a few minutes after the examination. I'm hoping to get an A so I'll get an A overall mark for the course. I got an A on the midterm and a B on the essay. (She wanted more... but she deducts marks if its too long. I don't get it.)

SO breaking the spine on this Danesi text, "Understanding Media Semitocs." It's an easy read... but he blabs and blabs. And then blabs. Some more.

Final Exam Essay Question:

With reference to Goffman and Berger, discuss the representation of gender difference in advertising. How does advertising depict both men and women and place them within a social hierarchy? How does Goffman suggest that we "test" the realibility and strength of a particular gender stereotype?

Hm, sounds like a lot of fun to write. (Insert sarcasm here)
