Last Monday was my first official day as a PhD student. Notably, I’ve done nothing towards it (other than thinking while commuting…), but I did come across two really useful blog posts last week that I thought I’d share here:
Some great strategies and tips in both of these posts, but I particularly identified with the second post, because my intention is to blog my PhD journey. I’m hoping to use this as a reflective space to work through ideas. I realise this will leave me wide-open for public scrutiny, but that actually really appeals to me. It’s going to be a long, and probably bumpy, ride!
Hi Kate,
Glad you found my post useful. Actually we have more in common than you know! I am a sessional lecturer with the IM team, School of BIT&L at RMIT and my second supervisor is Peter Macauley from that school. I also studied at RMIT in the mid 1990′s and am a qualified librarian although I’ve been doing other things since.
Good luck with the PhD and let’s keep in touch.
Heather
