The euphoria of the residency is only a faint memory - fast going to oblivion with the immediate panic of submitting a project proposal for the dissertation in two weeks.
I thought I had it nailed when I came from the residency : and that sense of triumph and jubilation soon disappeared when I started collecting content and writing the proposal. All the things George and Alistair warned me against are coming true : and I have realized that the original topic I decided on was far from being realistic : given the work load and the honest acceptance that I knew nothing about the area I had trying to do my dissertation on..
A mail from a fellow MALIK Residency student (William) truly cheered me up - and in this moment of despair it was truly lovely to know that you were not alone in this moment of challenge !
So it starts : with sheer fear and desperation...
