Hi!
Since projects tend to change and evolve, I was wondering how happy people are with what has become/is becoming of their projects, measured against their general ambition? I'm currently somewhere in the middle with my work and I wonder if at the end all those things which I thought make my project interesting/special will have to be cut down (due to various practical reasons, most of all the curse of relying on secondary data), resulting in something fairly trivial/less interesting (but hopefully still sufficient for the originality requirement).

Is this common, and how do you feel about it?

Actually I would have preferred to answer "After changes more interesting", but that's not an option in the questionnaire. My supervisor gave me very good advice for how to add a layer of analysis which has improved my thesis tremendously.

Ha, see I didn't even think about that ;) most probably because I'm so isolated with my stuff, and hardly have supervision.. but you are right, it should be added...
