Damn the Torpedoes! Full speed ahead!

I turned in my 3rd proposal version yesterday morning, and at 11:30 last night, I heard from Dr. Z that he approved it and to send it along to Dr. S for final approval.  That means that I'm good to go!

I'm traveling this week so I didn't have the wisdom of my proofreader (my hubby) before I sent it, so there were some typos.  Oh well.

I need to do some "deep revisions" of it, but I can send it on to Dr. S when the typos are corrected and when I revise a bit.

Dr. Z is worried that I've come to my conclusions before the research is done.  That's probably true, but I have to tell you:  it's very hard to keep the personal bias out of it.

I was at an academic conference today.  I told a colleague (a doctoral student at the Sorbonne) about my approval and Dr. Z's concern of my bias.  She said:  "Everybody has a conclusion.  It's impossible to be impartial."  She went on to say that most people write their abstracts first before they even get into the study!  Ha!

I just need to figure out how to not have strong language in my literature review and study significance.  But I see the end.  At last!
