Running Out of Time

Time is passing by so quickly. In about a month's time I will have to submit the dissertation proposal, but I've hardly spent any time thinking about what I should do.



The problem is that there has been some assignments from other subjects in the way and I have another three to finish by the end of April. I like the way that this course is only one year long, but sometimes I feel that there's just not enough time to learn everything in such a short time.

Finally, a Clear Topic!

After months worrying that I'd never find a clear topic for my dissertation, I finally managed! My title shall be "The Desired Destination - Persuasive and Influential Ways of Marketing a Destination" and my intention is to research consumer behaviour patterns that can help develop strategies for destination marketing. It may sound complicated, but at least it is starting to make sense in my own mind.

I was also very pleased because today I had the first meeting with Peter, my supervisor. He approved my topic and gave some ideas of how to work with it. It's not going to be easy and I will have to do a lot of research, but I believe that we appreciate things that are difficult to achieve more than the ones that come easily. Also, I think this is a topic that I'd really like to work with as a career. So I'll put even more effort into it. I'll do my best. I hope I succeed.
