Yes, it was nice to see you again.
I have imagined this scene in my head more than a thousand times, but I never knew it would be like this.
When we first broke up, I always thought I can never talk to you or see you in the eye ever again in my life. It was just too hard. I always thought I would avoid seeing you, in any occasion.
As time went, I am finally confident enough to say that I will not avoid seeing you, if I have to.
This is my fifth year doing my PhD.
I decided to write this series of articles because I think it is about time to share what I have learned throughout the past four years. What can you do if your advisor is a jerk? How to maitain a good relationship with your advisor? How to do research? And so on.
To begin, I think I am going to introduce the PhD program I am in. You come in as a fresh meat and take all the courses you need in the first semester, and then you take the qualifying exam after the first Christmas. You will have your thesis proposal at your second year and then one committee meeting each year afterward. After one committee meeting, one plan-to-finish meeting, and one final committee meeting, you can have your defense. Hopefully, you can/will graduate in five years.
Oh, I forgot to mention that you choose your advisor during your first semester. We have an interesting program: you need to talk to 6 professors and then find your best match before thanksgiving. The professor will sign your form after thanksgiving if he/she is interested in you as well. This is when I met my first advisor, professor Salmon.
If you were/are a PhD student, then you may find yourself in your articles. Don't worry. Everyone has the same issue. This is the first thing you need to learn when you are doing your PhD. I hope my experience can help you work out your issues. If you are planning to do a PhD in the future, then I hope my experience can help you decide if PhD is the right route for you. If you are a professor and you are a jerk, then I hope you can see how your students suffer and show them some mercy. If you are a nice professor, please keep it this way, we need you!
朋友A在分手後,離開熟悉的城市到其他地方工作
企圖要以無止境的工作忘記逝去的戀情, 換來的卻是身心俱疲
"你覺得他到底要不要跟我做朋友"
"我覺得他想要, 但他會怕你放不下, 其實他只希望你過的好"
"那你覺得我們應不應該做朋友"
一直以來我都不是一個活潑外向隨和跟每個人都相處的好的人
真的要說的話我覺得我比較是跟兩三個好朋友活在自己的小圈圈裡不知道外面發生什麼事的孤僻鬼
國中高中的時候專心念書倒也不覺得這樣有什麼不好
大學四年也維持這樣一貫的路線
我一直覺得有兩三個無話不談的朋友比一大群人浩浩蕩蕩的出遊
換新project已經兩個月了
我想現在應該是一個好的時機說說自己的感想吧 :)
雖然還是在同一個大project裡面作 (continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing)
不過領域卻完全的轉換了(molecularly imprinted polymer->cocrystallization)
It has always been hard for me to make the choice between two sides I both love
On one side, I miss you so much and always want to talk to you
On the other side, I go home twice a year and stay totally for only 1.5 month
I have been staying in front of my computer for the past 2 weeks
我討厭白目
