I gave a presentation on the prospectus for my Ph.D. dissertation at a meeting with my three mentors on January 31.
I was so glad that they approved my prospectus and said it was getting organized much better. (´∀｀)
I cannot how many times I got depressed the past year and I was waiting for this moment..... I must say I'm so grateful to my husband and mom for supporting me with study in various aspects with aloha for a long time, and to one of my mentors for giving me constructive advice.
Here is my shedule advised by them.
May 2008 --- Give a presentation at an academic conference
July 2008 --- Submit a paper based on the presentation
January 2009 --- Complete my Ph.D. dissertation in Japanese (if it's possible, in English)
and submit them to my mentors provisionally
February 2009 --- Faculty members give the green light to my project at a faculty meeting
May or June 2009 --- Take an oral examination & get a Ph.D.
I'll do my best! *:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆
