Honours programme is getting me excited! The thoughts of having my own published work in an Australian University's library, a Singaporean resource centre and a hard-bound copy to call my own IS getting to me already!
Still, the thoughts of rrreallly doing a research project is kind of daunting. Its really going to be going out there and DOING SOMETHING about it! Its pure practical work with tons of consideration. Whether is it feasible, is it ethical, can i ensure confidentiality, research bias, am i contributing to the knowledge already available, will any agencies be interested in helping me, will i be able to get grants for the research, am i answering anything constructively, am i able to get hold of my target participants, how am i going to go about doing it, will i read enough for the topic, what am i finding out, how would i find out, what questions am i going to ask, what can i get out of the questions i asked, would i be able to do it? Tough.
Still the prospects of actually achieving something that i will be proud of does outweigh all the anxiety felt! And i'm gonna get it done.
Right! Its going to be a long long 3-months!
(3 more days of workshops... Gosh!)
