i finally got my stuff together enough to produce a suitable masters project proposal (pdf), one that actually represents what i’m doing and what i want to do. marchionini gave the go ahead and informed me of my deadline: March 29, two weeks before the master’s paper is officially due to be sealed, signed, and delivered. count it folks, that’s 7 weeks from today. yikes!

the proposal is very pedestrian. in one sentence, i’m proposing to design and implement a functional web application to replace my Microsoft Access financial system. there’s no cutting edge social science research, no groundbreaking use of technology, no bold assertions. just straight-up design something and build it. i expect to be throughly challenged for the next 49 days.

as a sidenote, today was the first time in this long process that i felt like it’s actually conceivable that i’ll graduate in may…

…which is nice because it means there might be some closure for this long process.
