Late nights of sleep are not yet over because, as of the writing of this post, I am still preparing for the upcoming proposal defense. I slept a quarter to midnight last night after sending my final draft of the proposal manuscript.
I woke up feeling groggy.
This is normal. To suffer physically, emotionally, and financially hahaha is expected and NORMAL because if everything comes easy, I can never appreciate the success awaiting me.
So, here are the things I have done and I am still doing to prepare myself for the proposal defense.
- READ a lot.
- Write a lot.
- Talk with my adviser.
- Talk with the chair panel.
- Attend dissertation critiquing.
- Write more.
- Connect with your classmates.
I will update this post this weekend because tomorrow will be my Defense Day. I hope my proposal gets approved.
