This is where I am in terms of my progress and as I can see I am a little less than a quarter through my entire EPQ progress and my main focus now, and during the rest of the summer holidays, should be on my research and all the things related to it so that by the time I return to college in September I am in a good place.
A potential problem I am beginning to see with my long term plan is how I may have been very ambitious with my timings - for instance my research time is the same for that of the planning of my dissertation and I am thinking the former will probably take longer than the latter if I do it very thoroughly. Therefore I may have to be flexible in my timings, I am thinking a possible solution to this would be to alter it so I have a spare week/month or so at the end which can be used as sort of insurance time in case some things do take longer than I gave them credit for. I plan to start going through things in the summer, see how it goes and decide whether or not I need to do this by the end of July however seeing into the future in this way is very difficult and will continue to be a challenge.
