so Claudia how do u do it ?

stressed, thank you for sharing..

I thought I would be trying to understand everything perfectly..
i am not sure if i can do it in 2 hours, but u really gave me hope (up)

Hi all ...

I was asked to read 75 pages daily for my phd classes .. is it possible?

if so , how can I do it ? 8 hours of reading everyday? I will be going nuts :-(

thank y'all.. i am so glad that i have found some ppl like me.. I get distracted all the time..
but I have a weird habit.. if I really need to work , I would woke-up and not see anybody till I finish my work , meaning I get trapped at my room , I never go to the uni that day .. it is annoying , but it is my nature after all , can't change it ! tried so hard to , but failed :(

Hi all,

I have just started my PhD and I was just assigned a 400-page book. How many pages should I read daily?
I just don't want to get depressed of so much reading, and I want to grasp new info and remember everything clearly when I do my reviews for my supervisor.
Pls any ideas ?

calm down! i am a ph.d candidate now, and know that i will start my ph.d courses soon. but i really have a very bad memory, u can't imagine how i forget what i ate 2 hours ago!

thanks sue ... u helped me a lot(gift)

thank y'all, i only mentioned that i am 23 , just to ask if there will be free time for myself to enjoy life when i start my ph.d program??

my ex prof told me what to do and what topic I should work on, bcoz he wanted to supervise me.. I think he did the whole thing for me , he helped me write my proposal too..
i think u have got to contact any ex prof u have.
wish u the best :-)

Nice thread !
I am currently a Ph.D candidate, meaning I have not started my classes yet. Anyways, I will be studying some field in Linguistics 8-)

Hi all,
I am new here. I have just got accepted to be a Ph.D student. I have my supervisor, we discussed things together and so on. I am a 23 year old girl. got a B.A only.. So my question is, Do you find the Ph.D difficult?
My prof scared me a bit when he said there will be lots of reviews so he knows that I read stuff hehehe.
I hated doing reviews when I was a B.A student. but now it's different. I will do reviews on related topics to my thesis which I think will be easier than the B.A reviews, where u r supposed to do reviews on things that u really don't like!
Anyways, I have always wanted to be a Ph.D student, but will I have time to cheer myself up while doing my Ph.D? bcoz as I said I am only 23!

Thanks in advane
