I see the light!

Alright, I'll stop with the spammage (geeze it's quiet around LJ lately - did I scare you off with all my meddlesome RL crapola?) right after this post.

I'm almost done with the "hardest" part of the proposal. As any researcher or research-beginner or research student probably knows, the most challenging part of writing up a proposal or a study is the introduction. Not only do you have to somehow make a multitude of previous research fit into mere lines of text, you also have to make it fit into *your* research, which can be excruciating at times. Especially if you're working in a field where research is scarce at best. And then, wouldn't you know it, you have to come up with your own hypothesis and your own reasoning for doing the research to begin with.

The point I'm trying to make is that I'm almost done with the introduction. Not that the rest is going to easy as pie or anything, because I still have to find an appropriate statistical test to analyze data that I don't have and explain the reason that I'm using the instrument I'm using, which I also still don't have. However, I can now safely say that, with perhaps a page more of the introduction to go, I can see the light at the end of this very dark and very time-consuming tunnel.

And for this, I give an orgasmic (no, really) cry of ecstacy, excitement, and sweet sweet exhaustion.

G'nite, y'all.

dont you get sick of my comments? :P

YAYAYAYAYAYAY!
grats!
and fear PAGES of introduction...
i find it hard enough, sometimes to do a few SENTENCES
oh, but thats all rather ridiculous
does your professor honestly expect you to complete something by using something you dont have access to? :\

Congratulations on getting your intro almost done!
:)
Your scholar, you.


I wonder if you could post something to [livejournal.com profile] club_joss for me? I didn't want to just do it in comments as a lot of folk are likely to miss it.
If you would, it's this:

Just wanted to say 'Thank you so very much' to all the people who posted about 'Letters'. Your thoughts, ideas and praise were fun to read and made me smile - and gave me a really big head! It was great to read all the different interpretations and emotions that 'Letters' evoked. Thank you!


*smooch*
Have a good day, bay-bee.

Thank ya, darlin':)

orgasmic cry of...

I'm sure there's relief in there as well (of more than one kind!) Glad you're ticking things off your list. I find that works well for me when I feel overwhelmed, make a list and just start at the top and before you know it, it's done!

Oh yeah - and relief:)

I, too, find lists to help me quite a bit.
