Doubt can be crippling at times. In this entry I discuss my doubt about my research proposal. At the time of writing it I was very nervous about how it would turn out and be evaluated. It all comes back to my doubt about my writing abilities, I don’t feel as though I am a good writer and it causes a lot of anxiety when I have to submit assignments. As it turned out, I may not have written the best proposal that the world has ever known, but it was in the ballpark, and for the sake of learning and this class, that’s what really matters.

I feel like my proposal is horrible. I don’t know why, maybe I didn’t put enough effort into it or organize it well enough. It feels very much like a rough draft. I’ll be curious to see what the feedback I get on it, it’s been a long time since I’ve been evaluated in my writing and I feel as though I’m not very good at it. I also have some doubts about how I’m going to set up my survey. I think it won’t be too difficult to write but I do have some concerns about defining terms and making it an actual effective survey. I guess it’s just another challenge to overcome so might as well be positive and looked forward to it.
