On the topic of Procrastination and my IS

In Psychology we are meant to do an Independant Study, or IS. This involves coming up with our own idea in a area of psychology and conducting a study within that area. With the help and guidance of a tutor we create the idea and the means of study and hopefully produce some sound results. This was presented to us a few months ago and we had to put it together and contact tutors about it. At the time I had a few ideas and I mused on it, but I never contacted tutors. Partially this was due to my shyness rather then my unmotivation, I don't like talking to people in authority really or talking to anyone that I don't know. This includes managers and things at work. So I put it off. It would always be at the back of my mind but come the time I wanted to look at it I was busy with coursework and exam preparation. So I procrastinated to the best of my ability till the end of my exams untill I found out it was meant to be complete and signed off by that time. From then I was scared of talking to tutors, thinking I would be turned away from it, and the longer I put it off the more frightened I have become. It has gotten to the point where it is now incredibly late and I realise this but now I am so terrified of contacting incase it means being thrown off, or delayed, from the course. Psychology is such a main enjoyment of mine that I can't let this happen but I have to contact tutors now. I am sending the first email tonight in hopes that I will be advised.

I hope all goes well.
