Proposal writing


So, somehow or another I'm now in my third year of grad school, my how time flies. That means it's time to write up my dissertation proposal, which is basically my plan for the rest of grad school. Like many, I have a bunch of projects started, many of them related, but i have to pick an overarching theme that unites my interest, drop the stuff that doesn't fit and ratchet down my focus. Being more than a little ADHD this is a tad challenging. Add this to the fact that this is somehow my busiest semester ever and you can probably get a mental image of a grad student running around like a chicken with its head cut off, as my mother would say.
