Cherry Picking

I've had quite a productive day today. Last night I was thinking about product names, business names and brand names that I can analyse for my English coursework. I have to look at 15 of these names and discuss what an English-speaking person would think about the business, brand or product from the name. For example a name such as 'National Express' suggests nationwide coverage and a fast service. I've come up with quite a few good ones for analysing so far, and I've just been cherry-picking the best ones and writing down what I gather from their names. I'm planning on asking my family members what they think of the names as well just to provide a wider vision of what the names suggest, and that gives me more to write about. So I've written a few hundred words of a plan, but I'm still struggling to think of academic sources that I can link in with my ideas. But that's not due for another few weeks so I'll do more worrying about that nearer the time. I've also drawn up a big to-do list type plan with all my deadlines written up so I know what's due in when, and I can work through things in a chronological order. After doing that I went shopping, clothes shopping for the first time in far too long! Got a few nice bits from Dorothy Perkins and spent lots of money that I don't have, but I thought I'd get something new for the Nerina gig on Wednesday. It struck me today that even though this is the eleventh time I'm seeing her live, I still get just as excited as if it was only the first time. I really need a good dose of beautiful live music, so roll on Wednesday!
