I'll be taking the Qualifying Exam on the last Friday of March of this year. It's the exam which when passed will raise me from Ph.D. Student to Ph.D. Candidate. I feel like an Accepted of the White Tower about to take the test of the Hundred Weaves.
It's now the first week of the Spring semester and I decided to journal my progress in preparation. Few among the IDAS (Internationa Doctoral Students in Asia Pacific Studies) students take the track that I chose, hence little few people to be study buddies.
I dedicated this week by:
- Searching for the readings list documents.
- Inputting their citations into Mendeley.
- Securing them into my GDrive and organizing them into an IBooks Collections folder.
I've also reached out to senior Society and Culture track IDAS students for the four that I still couldn't find.
I also should visit the IDAS Director for advice to check with this semester's examiner.
I'll begin next week with a checklist which I will close by checking every Friday.
The harvest for now is good. Readings begin tomorrow.
