I look at the list and I become seized by fear. Paralyzed. I don't dare to move forward, don't know where to begin. It's not that I am procrastinating but I set myself up for this perfectionist syndrome.

The wise thing to do right now would be to choose just one of those and work on that. I've tried picking IRB as my first on the list but I'm thinking that's the wrong thing to do because it involves rewriting my research proposal which is scaring me stiff right now. Everything is tied up with one another. Fuck! I don't know what to do. I'm so scared. Omg I am just overwhelming myself. Why do I do that?! Ok I am going to try something easier... *blank*

Exam Results

MASTER OF SOCIAL SCIENCES 2007/2008 SEMESTER 1

DE5106 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND ASSESSMENT A
GE5217 RESEARCH METHODS IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES B

Well the christmas cheer (and gloom) continues. I'm not surprised I got an A for the environmental management class but I'm really disappointed that I got a B for the research methods module.

Mainly because this reflected very poorly on my research proposal and now I'm really worried. Crap!
