Dissertation-gate: Not sure what day

Maybe day 14?

I started my outline of my proposal today.  Kind of.  I typed my name in a word document, put a couple headings down (that were given to me by the proposal syllabus), and copied and pasted the bulk of the information I plan on using from old essays about my project to this new document.  I will likely spend just a little more time working on this tonight.

It's difficult.  I feel as if I have written my proposal (or some version of it) twice now.  This would be my third time.  I have had to gather and shape this information into a proposal for two different grants.  The trick is not making sure I have the correct information down, but rather that the information is typed up in the correct order according to what the thesis syllabus requires.

Also: it strikes me as odd that we switch prepositions based on verb usage.  "I typed my name in a word document" versus "I wrote my name on paper."  "I typed up the information" versus "I wrote down the information."  Prepositions are fascinating.
