Research proposal. When I read the proposal outline where it is stated that it should be between 10 – 15 pages long, my first thought was, can I even write a proposal that long?? Then I started on the proposal, I am very lucky to have great and helpful classmates who gave me a lot of ideas and pointers to write. It started as a mere 10 pages long, but ended up to be 15 pages. Then, something very confusing happened, it seemed that my literature review was not like the others wrote. When I asked around, they said that they didn’t do the way I did it. My heart nearly stopped. The dateline is so near. It took me almost a whole night to re-do that part. When, I’ve finally finished it, I e-mailed both versions to Dr. Izaham and ask for his comment. Thank God I sent a second draft. He gave me many comments to improve on my proposal. And he also told me that both versions of the review were okay. I guess, it was a blessing in disguised that I got the panic attack. I got to send a second draft, and from the comments I got, I could improve my proposal even more.
