I had an "I really, really feel like quitting" week last week, and tonight, my ideas for my prospectus (and its theoretical basis) came together quite nicely--at least in my head. I hope sleeping on it makes it even better.
Hope you two are having good endings to good semesters.
Why did you feel like quitting last week? Anything in particular?
I congratulate you on having a theoretical basis. I'm lacking such a basis--or any clear methodology at all.
I'm getting close to being done, but I've been going through the stress of submitting grades for people, trying to decide whether they get the D or the C.
I think I cycle through really wanting to quit about once a month. I think if I start thinking about actually working on the WHOLE project, it seems too overwhelming and seems like it will take too long to finish. And there are other things I want to do in my life. And I had a birthday coming up. And ...
We'll see if anyone buys my theoretical basis. :) My advisor is definitely a proponent of "see what you do and then decide how you can define it as a methodology."
Very interesting advice from your supervisor. It makes me feel better about how my project is developing. I definitely cannot yet articulate a methodology, but now I have hope!

And those Ds and Cs are pesky.
