Cold Feet!  

Posted by hidayah

This week I've been digging information on visa application, browsing through the Iowa State's Uni (ISU) website in order to get a glimpse of what I should do/prepare before school starts. I was then suddenly getting cold feet. Reading on all the graduate school requirements, preliminary exam and stuff related to a doctoral degree makes me nervous. Then the big question pops up - Am I physically and mentally prepared? for the PhD? Then comes the other related what-if questions. Mostly negative. So there. I am getting cold feet as the time passes. Timecheck - it's less than 3 months till I leave for PhD.


Reading a book - "PhD: Kecil tapi Signifikan" by Prof Dr Muhd. Kamil Ibrahim from UiTM, loaned by K.Anisz created an undescribable pool of emotions in me. I am nervous as hell, oh yeah. Simultaneously I'm excited, plus a little bit of unsure. Will I get through it? My previous supervisor, PM Dr Ahmad Ruslan - when I was doing my Masters told me -" PhD stands for Permanent Head Damage". Haha. Seriously? My guess it depends on individual. But my friend Sam who's in the final stage of completing her PhD at ISU said it's tough work. I can only prayed that I'll get through it.. Insya Allah..


By the way, it is a good book to read especially for people like me, intending to pursue my PhD - it does give an insight on what to expect while doing a PhD, preparations and such on that matter. As I am counting the days to go to the States, the nervous I am!
