The hugest fear of course is getting to the runway but crash-landing, so to speak. It would be the worst thing ever to fail at the end after so much work.
But I have so many fears.
One is that there are serious flaws in my methodology that my supervisors either won't point out/will point out when it's too late to fix them.
One is that I won't be able to write up my findings in any logical order (questioning already whether the two experiments I have actually fit together in any meaningful way).
Perhaps the most deep-rooted fear is in fact a fact: my topic, which was a proposal before I was even in the department, is a hybrid which was cobbled-together by two researchers who know nothing of each others' areas...and don't care to listen/remember things I tell each of them about the other aspect of the work...
