Has the project been accepted for publication or is it simply something your professor “thinks” may get published? If this was a dream of yours I would say go for it, but it sounds like it was an opportunity you hadn’t thought about until it was offered, but are afraid to pass up. If you even have to question if you want to continue then you have your answer; the time isn’t right and it is time to move on.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412235716600795327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593485191424693228.post-70591549759142480192012-03-27T09:38:55.196-07:002012-03-27T09:38:55.196-07:00um...quit. quit now. It sounds to me like your men...um...quit. quit now. It sounds to me like your mentor is also looking for a way out, and maybe doesn't have the balls to end it himself. And yes, endeavors like this are hard, long, and full of setbacks but what is supposed to push you through them is the passion you have for the project. And it sounds to me like you've lost that, which is totally fine, because it wasn't your original project to begin with. Take it as a learning experience, tell yourself that this doesn't have to be your only opportunity to do something like this in the future - only next time it could be a project of your own design and on your own terms.Wilson and Desiree Luonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152871104756391419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593485191424693228.post-34653908478751260072012-03-26T16:49:55.119-07:002012-03-26T16:49:55.119-07:00I think this project needs to be put on the shelf ...I think this project needs to be put on the shelf for a while (like years). Obviously it is not as important to your mentor as it was made out to be and you are very busy and important. You will never lose the knowledge and will always be amazing and awesome. Maybe in 5 years or so you will be in a place in your life (and your mentor his, or a new mentor, whatever) where the project will be doable. I say leave it alone for now, but see if there is a way to leave the option open, as it's a cool door to leave open. It's possible the mentor is looking for a way out too. If not, then run. This project is not going anywhere soon.
