Project Reshuffling

This time last week when I presented my project proposal to the rest of you I was certain that this is what I would hand in on Friday, and what I would be working from on my actual project. But as I gave my presentation I realised that the scope of my project proposal was just far too big to cover in 5000 words. I knew I had had to go back and readjust everything. So I went back through all the little details and kept checking Konrad’s advice so I could try and produce a manageable proposal. After hours of reshaping I finally managed to submit something that seemed more realistic than my original idea.
However, it’s inevitable that I will have to reshape this idea again at some point. The research I have carried out until now has allowed me to formulate initial ideas for my project, but the more research I do the more I will probably have to have a rethink about the direction of my project. Whereas before this is a thought that absolutely terrified me, now I’m actually feeling a lot less daunted by it. Having already reshuffled my ideas in order to make my project work, I’m now a lot more confident about this happening again in the future. In fact, knowing that the outcome of my project is still not set in stone is actually starting to be quite exciting.
