The Research Proposal Presentation Telenovela


I had presented my research proposal today. Two OHP slides later and a barrage of disparaging comments had been thrown into my face.

"Why don't you think of another topic instead?"

I was about to devise a way how to make a torade of feminine tears fall ceremoniously down my face when in comes the saviour of mankind.

Or as we fondly call her, Dr. Bernadette Chua-Macrohon.

Fighting crime, trying to save the world. Here they come just in time...

"I have a suggestion. Why don't you change your methodology to a case-control study with NFP acceptors and non-NP acceptors..."

There is a God.

Because of the difficulties regarding the suggested modification of my paper, she has decided to take me under her wing. So, I am now under the supervision of one of the best research advisers provided by the school.

You are now officially looking at a girl who, despite lacking the skills and the exuberance to make a good research and having submitted a haphazardly written research proposal for the sake of having something to pass, has succeeded in making things go to her advantage.

God still looks after girls like me after all. Hehehe...
