Well done you, Joanna. I'm a first year too. When are you starting?

N

Hey Joanna!

I've also started just 2 weeks ago and been having an amazing time. Wish you all the best :)

Congrats to you both (up)

I'm just starting 2nd year and have found this forum to be welcoming and a brilliant source of wisdom!

Welcome :-)

J

Nice to hear from you!!!i don't know yet because there are some administrative things to sort out but I guess I'll start within the next few months.

J

No more new PhD students in the forum?Where are you???

K

I'm new too, started my research proper yesterday. A big mountain to climb I know but looking forward to it all the same. Which discipline is everyone involved in? I'm in political science.

J

'm in developmental biology! this forum is really nice people who start and people who finish...all gathered in one place...true that we have to climb a reeeeeally high mountain....good luck to everyone!!!

I'm starting officially on Monday (week 0 this week) but went to campus today for a Brush Up on Your Referencing Skills session from the Graduate Student Association. Nice to get onto the campus and got a couple of books out of the library and picked up the all-important NUS card (discounts for years now as a part time PhDer!)...

However, I kind of felt weird. It now feels like such a massive commitment - I'm interested (but probably not totally passionate) about so much in my area (language learning) but am hoping I have chosen the right area... impact related mainly...

Anyway, hoping I'll be fine when I get to have a welcome meeting and meet my sup...

A

Mine's a Collaborative PhD, Social Sciences.
