I just sent in my research proposal to Dennis.  If you can call it that.  I really feel like I can’t make any real definitive descriptions of my methods at this point in time.  I think I’ve decided to change my treatment.  The one my lead teacher found is meant for middle school and I’m experimenting on high school students.  I think my study will have more credibility if I use a better treatment.  I am really excited about my instrument(s) though.  Does it make me a bad researcher if I decide my treatment based on my instrument?  Doesn’t it usually go the other way?

My proposal turned out much better than I expected it to, actually.  I was really dreading sitting down and writing it.  Once I did, I had a lot of inspiration and I don’t feel like it will be too hard to add some more really great stuff once I get into the middle of my research.  Now if only I can get my proposal approved…
