Done with research proposal

I handed in my second exam today in research methodology. The exam was to write a research proposal on 2000 words. My plan was to do it on the topic I will write my thesis on later, but I still do not know what I want to write about so I ended writing about something I had a few essay's about before. It was good practice, but time consuming. I handed it in today at 11 and talked a little with the lecturer. She is in her mid-thirties and has made research methodology as fun as it can get. Today we talked about rugby and the World Cup and I will definitively ask her about my thesis later, and I know she will be happy to give advices. I actually feel that all three of the lecturers this semesters care and are talking with you when you have a question, something that is always nice. I actually have a deal to have a drink with another lecturer when she finish grading the exams. It is nice to feel that you are treated more as a future researcher, than as merely a student. 

So I am very happy about that, but also very tired. Even if I have been sleeping fairly well lately my head has been working constantly and I never had time to relax as it has always been an upcoming assignment or exam. But now I have almost two weeks until the last exam and I intend to read some non school literature. Yesterday I bought a book by Carlos Ruiz Zafon named 'The Angel's Game', I just started it and is very excited about that. I read another book of him before that definitely are amongst my favorites, namely ' The Shadow of the Wind'. 

Later today I will bake boller and cinnamon boller, before I have a early night. Then I have an even earlier morning tomorrow since I am planing on climbing Stellenbosch Mountain tonight and see the sunrise. Tomorrow we will have people over for coffee and karsk before I go watch rugby and football. It is the semifinals in the top 14 tournament (the champions league of rugby) and both Pretoria and Cape Town have reached the semi final. That starts at 5, then the second game at 7, before it is champions league final at 9 so it will be quiet a sports day.

  1. Hei Johan!

    Nå er det pinse her - og vi har landet etter vår ferie. Nå ordnes båten. Hans og Ivar kom hjem i går.
    (Jeg skal også gjøre studiearbeid i helga - ikke lett på denne årstiden når alt er så fint ute). Håper du nå har pustet ut og at hodet begynner å slappe av igjen!!! Så fint å høre at dere har et slags likeverdig forhold til lærerne - og at dere blir tatt på alvor!På vei inn i et nettverk...? Det er også fint at du legger ut slike tanker og erfaringer:-)

  2. Dere må kose dere i pinsen alle sammen og lykke til med studie arbeidet.
    Jeg skal lese, ordne søknad til lånekassen, kjøpe gitar og starte det prosjektet igjen og ikke tenke skole de neste dagene, før jeg starter å forberede meg til den siste eksamen.
