Background: I have always known I would pursue a PhD the way some people know that they will be rock stars. Not as cool, it’s true, but when times are rough I have to admit that I always feel that I am on the right road or at least close enough to not feel too lost.
Status: I have finished my first year and have one section of my reading list fairly well sorted out. I have bought 5x8 index cards and a box for said index cards. I am keeping track of notes and my own insights as my supervisor suggested (thanks for the tips on how to prepare!). I have printed out some papers. I have even read a few and taken notes on them. I did send out a draft of my reading list without the proposal. I feel guilty for not having read more up to this point.
Plan of Action (POA): Keep reading and taking notes on papers while I am here in CO even though I am not as productive as I would like to be. Accept my state of un-productiveness and get some good rest and enjoyment with family and friends in preparation for an intense five months of 6 and 7 day weeks starting in August. Draft a proposal to send out by July 30th.
