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.

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