The making of a new thesis

Probably the worst part of going a new direction in your thesis is having to outline and come up with a proposal of something that is going to change 100 times more before you go through your comprehensive exam and get it approved, only to change 50 more times before you actually get near the formal writing of the thesis. So excuse me if I dont take outlining and the proposal with that much gravity. I suppose I should go the way of PhD comics....
