New Start week of 25th August

Normal Routine: Study, research and collecting info from other PhD students & researchers. A little blinded with rushing here and there. Time to reset and start again.

• Submitted my application for PhD. checked √.
• Finished up markings. checked √. Incoming for both universities (28/8) - 60 scripts & (26/8) 7 assignments.
• Clear up the study loan. RM1500 left (Cleared by 31st August)
• Financial Planning. EFP. checked √. But found June was not updated (it's already August).

Received email from potential PhD supervisor in 2 days time (he is fast). Notes taken:

√ Clarify of elaboration
√ Issues identified

× Scope is still general - need further scale down for 3 years studies.
    - find similar researches
    - analyse the gap - to see if research is feasible
 × Research methodology is needed. Keyword: Research Design.

Hope for the best for my PhD enrollment. A long way to go. 3 years = 12 months = 52 weeks = 365 days = 8750 hours = 525600 minutes.

Quite fun but just spent my night doing that.

Day 5

Expect the unexpected

Practice 1st day's lesson: Financial aware

3 years of investment and risk. There is no turning back. However, doing $ part time almost = $ working full time. Good: earn more with less days; Bad: Inconsistent classes (income). I'll still do it. Due date: Beginning of Oct (before 15 Dec)

Received a call while doing this in the morning, a little excited but the guilt is still felt in my heart. However, let's face it. & Received this:

Oo.. some how related to my 30 day challenge.
