A big mess …

I have a draft proposal due on 2 September 2009. I have not completed my draft yet. I am working hard, but I have little time to finish my readings. I am writing something about the linear sand dunes in the Simpson Desert. No one knows how these sand dunes were formed. The problem is that there are like 10,000 hypotheses about the formation of linear sand dunes. Another problem is that there are like 10,000 professional academics attacking (in a very nice way), rejecting, and accepting each others theories. It is a big mess, and it is almost like politics (or maybe it is a form of politics). Nonetheless, I have a couple of days to complete my draft proposal.
