How does one write a research proposal? I mean, I sort of know. But this is a proposal for my Master's Thesis. That's huge. My advisor was like "Here are papers to read. Now go write shit." Obviously he didn't say it in those words, but those were basically my instructions. At least I know what project I'm doing. One of the other new grad students doesn't even have an idea for a thesis yet, I think. Damn.
