I got to work on my research proposal, which needs to be improved on (heaps) before I meet the supervisor again on Friday. The sense of urgency is there because the research proposal has to be sent together with the online ethics review before my research is allowed to be carried out. And since I am working on an extremely tight deadline to start my project when school starts next year, I am hoping that the approval will come before that.
I always thought I could write decently well, but I was totally humbled by the first meeting I had with my supervisor yesterday. I learnt heaps, things I had not learnt for the past 2 years in my masters studies. Writing style, writing format, content of writing, arrangement of content etc etc. Wow. I foresee a steep learning curve in the next few months. I am thankful for her though. I prefer a supervisor who's detailed like that rather than an easygoing, friendly, anything is okay kind of supervisor. She's nice enough. A good mix.
I am glad to have this week to work on the research proposal and go for my personal maintenance programme; dentist, doctor's, facial etc before travelling this Saturday. Woot.
