I finally found enough energy after getting a dose of the flu that’s been going around to pick up the results from my verbal proposal at college. Based on the notion that I really didn’t know what I was doing, i managed to get 70%, which apparently in a master’s is quite good. To be honest a pass would be enough for, me as i am not used to being a high flyer!
Anyway I then spent an hour and a half with my supervisor going through my written proposal that’s due in next week. So I am now back to the grind stone with school work. At least it looks like I am a step closer to successfully passing my MSc. I am now surrounded by books, articles and thesis’ on imagery and relaxation, and have a lot of re-writing to do to hopefully get a good mark rather than a pass!
My main problem is i have a non-academic background, in that i haven’t been to school in years and my undergrad degree was arts based, not science. As such my scientific writing skills need a little development, and I have only got 4 days to achieve that for the written part of my research proposal!
Hopefully soon I’ll get to start to carry out the experiment, collect the data, analyze it and write up my thesis. Then its job done! I’ll find out the results a year from now!
