Well with the start of a new semester, I start a new phase in my academic life: being a doctoral student. I thought it wise to be conservative with my schedule since I did not know what would be expected of me and how I would need to perform. This is new territory for me and I do feel a bit lost. So here are the questions have been on my mind:
What do I need to accomplish this semester?
What is my plan for research?
Who should I do a rotation with?
Who should be on my committee And what the hell is a committee anyway?
I consider myself lucky to have other graduate students who can guide me. Granted I always have the program advisors and our illustrious P.I. but it is nice to have a student's perspective. They understand better than anyone else because they were in my shoes at one time. They will keep it real and tell me what is important for my survival.
With that, I will wish my fellow new students the best of luck and continued success as we do this thing we call science.
