Quite possibly the best research paper ever
In the massive quantity of papers I am writing for my language and culture class (18 of them to be exact) I have been given a research project. The point of the research project is to outline and analyze how Americans do a particular speech act. What could be a good topic that would be informative, entertaining and the best use of my time?
The answer came to me quite simply.
How to order a drink.
I plan on writing this 12 page paper, and do research on how to order a drink. Also with this, field work, and I have to tape some conversations with people ordering drinks, interactions and so on. This could possibly be the best paper I have ever written in my entire academic life, and by far should be the most entertaining to do research for. All I need to do really is bring a tape recorder to work with me, and maybe go out and hit up other bars after work?
So gents, anyone want to go out for a drink? You could honestly say it was for a good cause!
Anyways, I'm out for now. Maybe going out to the field to do some work...
Hopefully everything is going well for all. It was nice to see everyone at the follies that was there.
