A couple of posts talking about how it has changed my life in a year. Today, while returning home I thought I made progress academically.
In a year that I have a doctorate,
- have completed the courses. It seems silly but it is necessary to begin the research.
- I have thesis topics (dissertation) and director. It also may seem obvious, but it is not so, is a big step and I have been a relief.
- I attended two meetings with other doctoral students. I'm pretty proud of this point. A national day and two weeks of Summer School at the international level. To be honest, not stressed in either, but rather quite the opposite; I tried to go unnoticed, but I believe that participating in these events is necessary. The sooner the better, too.
- I have two jobs to "stand by" pending approval from two separate teachers to send to a conference / journal. Hope is the last thing you lose, you know.
- I got a job in the research group and I am actively involved in some projects. One of them even allowed me to travel abroad with all expenses paid.
But all is not rosy, of course. Some cons:
- I have not been able to develop a in a position paper, an enviable publication.
- I have not made a media in a conference, something other doctoral students in my class have made themselves.
- the work is good, but it takes a long time. I am dedicating half an hour a day to my dissertation. That is, no doubt, too little time to finish the thesis in four years.
- I asked for a scholarship and not granted me. Do not have an average outstanding career is difficult to load weight. Having fellowship to carry out the thesis is a privilege, let it clear. A privilege poorly paid, but could spend 8 hours a day to our own research and be able to begin teaching at the university is a considerable advantage compared to other doctoral students like me.
not believe my year as brilliant. Nor is there anything remarkable, but at least I have reason to believe that this can come to fruition. I take much hold the status of other colleagues, that the courses passed, have no fellowship, or afraid, or college work and must weekends currar putting cups to pay for his dream, his thesis.
