What a day!

Well it has been a bit of a roller-coaster today and I would be lying to say that some tears had not been shed along the way. I also have a stinking cold which fuzzes up the brain somewhat. However, I am pleased to say that I have finally finished my new and improved shiny research proposal and I am so pleased with it. It flows, there is an argument, there is a clear mode of research and actual identifiable outcomes. When I look at the jumble of my first proposal I am further convinced that I have made the right decision to make this change, despite the extra work. I am excited about the recommendations that could eventually sprout from this piece of work. It feels like there really is an opportunity to make a difference and I am delighted that I get to work on it. Tomorrow I need to tidy up a couple of paragraphs, update the bibliography and send it off to my supervisors and see what they make of it. FINGERS CROSSED. Right now I am going to have one last cup of tea and stick the electric blanket on. As hard a day as I have had in a long while, but ultimately rewarding.
