What Diferent Betweenextract And Concentrate

About a year ago today I was at home, after three (sad) months without giving a stick to water, waiting for my acceptance to the doctoral program. I knew it would not be me. If I accept, fine, but if not ... Tomorrow

return to my home again and remembering that time I think of those who now are in that situation of not knowing what will happen to your life. I do not know if he ever will to anyone, but here are my tips for recent graduates who want to start a PhD.

1. Patience. Patience now you do not know if you accept and patience when you have accepted. The bureaucracy, queues, scholarships, validations ... everything will be slow and tedious, without a doubt our best weapon is patience.
2. not waste your time. PhD courses will be more or less hard, depends on many things, but in any case, he starts working on you. I have not done this year and I repent. Begins as soon as possible to define your research topic. Make a report describing and present it to whom you want to be your director. As soon as possible start with it, the better.
3. Seeking funding, but do not be discouraged if you do not have scholarships. I am the best example. I paid my first 6 months of doctoral credit and although I have no scholarship, I made it into a research group with a good salary. If you show interest and you approach your classmates and teachers, a "train" pass.
4. That said, do not be mortgaged by the thesis. If you do not see support from your faculty or department, plantéatelo again. I luckily I've found with this situation. If you're halfway to the DEA, at least finish it.
5. Make friends with the secretariat Department and the Faculty. Mandan much (or more) than professors, even if they seem.
6. 've decided to do a PhD, so get to read and, although general notes of the race. You probably have a weaker theoretical basis than you think.
7. socialize and share things with your classmates. A good conversation with another doctor can be very useful for raising spirits, discovering new authors, receive constructive criticism or have new ideas.
8. Keep in touch with the "outside world." Maintain contact with fellow graduate or practices that chief no evil shall come in the future. You never know ... Lee
9. you can fall Umberto Eco better or worse, but his book is quite interesting for those who started the argument.
10. Write every day. Although a summary of what you read in an article. Even pass notes to clean. Although a reference found by chance and it sounds interesting. Although there are three (sad) lines in a blog.
