I&#8217;m not crying victory yet (french expression: mieux vaut ne pas crier victoire), after all, I&#8217;d expect myself to do at least another ten to fifteen hours of re-writing. I still have to format the references properly and look for video captures that can help illustrate my points so that the layout earns extra points.<\/p>\n<p>Reading this post you&#8217;d be led to believe that I take this work seriously, and the truth is I do. I started it last summer when I came back to London looking for work. I applied to at least twenty jobs without luck and as I was growing demoralised I dropped by the library when no one else was there and borrowed as many books as I thought I could carry without a surtax on the plane. Over the summer I worked through over twenty chapters about film theory and created a documentary over 50 pages long and 25,000 words in depth. I also watched hundreds of hours of documentaries. Aside from the website, it&#8217;s the biggest project I&#8217;ve ever taken on.<\/p>\n<p>I hope I do well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>For the past hour or more, I&#8217;ve been listening to music and working on my dissertation and I&#8217;ve just hit 9500 words on my dissertation (disso as it&#8217;s affectionately referred to) and it feels great.
