Stress mode: Activated

I haven't blogged for a few days because I've been really stressed out trying to sort out my project. After I found out that my own business idea wasn't worth pursuing it has been a bit of a roller coaster ride. On numerous occasions coming close to choosing my research topic only to be told by a member of the relevant faculty that my idea was a steaming pile of shit (exaggeration implicit), not only this but my idea was based on what another faculty member had told me. So this went back and forth for about a week, with no official supervisor I had no one's final say on the matter. To add insult to injury the whole of the bloody uni has practically buggered off on their holidays for a couple of weeks, most of whom are supervising other peoples projects.

Anyway, so after my own business project plan fell through I teamed up with a fellow classmate to do the project with. He is someone I've worked with before and I'm confident that we'll come up with something good (if not great), especially given the lack of time. We have just about sorted out the topic which will focus of the future of distribution in the film industry. We plan to make use of the film business academy at the uni as it home to some of the best film business minds around.

But like I said, it's still not approved as a topic so there are still some hoops to jump through. Our only hope is to work on it solidly until most of the faculty return with their tans and then force them to approve the topic due to the impending deadline. Wish me luck.
