Polishing and Finalizing
Tomorrow is the day to turn in the proposal! I need to clean up the grammar, and do more to explain how I will prove my points. This will be challenging, but I've got the whole night to brainstorm and write so I think it will work out alright.
The only aspect I've utterly failed in is getting ahold of my advisor, in order to have him sign the Statement of Commitment. Its apparantly a very busy week for professors with holds and scheduling classes, and he's chair so it's certainly even worse. At least I learned that sometimes you need to get ahold of people three weeks in advance because academia is that busy. Little things like that make me grateful I'm learning the in's and out's of proposal writing in more of a practice format.
Hopefully the final copy will be great! Luckily, the signatures won't need to go on until the copy that's due on the 26th. I'll be excited to see a final draft of it soon and see how it holds up to more natural science based proposals.
