It seemed clear to Cheryl, Francine and I that our group project was "somewhat" ambitious in scope and that our budget was (hmm.... what word to use) "flawed." So we decided to revise. There were 2 options 1. revise the project objectives
2. revise the budget and submit it again to the Ministry of Education.
After some debate we decided to go with option 2. Cheryl and Francine made some minor changes, I made some suggestions, we added some mileage and...TA DA! A new, bigger budget.
Let's hope the Ministry realizes we are serious.
