crap.

so, i kind of knew this was coming...not passing, i mean. i knew it wasn't there yet, but it still bothers me. i had a long talk with Magali after my review (we went to No Prob), and she said, essentially, that a lot of the stuff i was talking about in my proposal was so dense that some of my committee just didn't get it. which i don't know if i believe or not, but it was kind of funny.

do you think i should try to simplify my proposal for next go around? i got a lot of feedback saying it wasn't specific enough, which was annoying because i really felt like it was. the only thing i felt it was lacking was a wrap up conclusion type thing at the end.

i think i need to stop thinking about this. i'm still too upset.

in this case, I will comment...
I think you know that maybe all those ideas are not yet in your work, or dealt with enough in your work. Maybe that is the problem?
They need more time to become articulated in your work if you keep them in your proposal.
Or simplify and then put them in more organically as you engage with the work
