Wrapping Up The I-Search

I've spent a few days now hammering away at the very meaty research section of my I-Search project and laying out how I want to handle the My Conclusions and My Reflection sections, and I have had very mixed feelings.  On the one hand, I feel very much in a bubble.  I've been evaluating sources and analyzing survey responses to the point of going cross-eyed while also trying to reflect on and make sense of the project as a whole.  Right now, I'm wondering if everyone else is moving in the same direction with this as I am.  Is everyone else getting the same kinds of results with their surveys/interviews or have I gotten lost in the weeds and started taking my topic in the wrong direction.  Voluntary human extinction strays a bit from the usual apocalyptic themes, and I wonder if I've lost sight of the larger goal.  On the other hand, I am very proud of the amount of work I have done this far and excited by some of the things that I have found out.  I am relived that this is all coming to end, but also worried about how my final massive pile of data will hold up against everyone else.  Only time will tell I suppose.
