Dissertation

This morning we ran through initial ideas for our dissertations. I hadn't thought about it until asked this morning, but I had two thoughts, both of which might be problematic: I thought maybe I'd write about mathematics, especially phi in design of all kinds, but this idea has been taken by somebody else, which could prove problematic. I also considered writing about TV, especially American TV series such as HBO's The Wire, The Sopranos and Deadwood. There are loads of ideas I have on this subject, but the problem is that I wrote an essay on this topic in the first year of the course, and I might plagiarise myself.

This means I either have to come up with a new question and set of research, or think of a new topic altogether.
