The Journey Begins

So today was the start of my 1st day as a PhD student...well, nothing much happened. Met up with my supervisor and talked about it. As expected, i will be doing a topic in the field of financial econometrics. This is what i have to do now:

(i) Read 4 textbooks and find out which textbook I like the most
(ii) Read 3 books of lecture notes
(iii) Read 2 journal articles that my supervisor published

Read, read and read...yeapz, this is PhD all right.

Currently also preparing for my tutoring job that starts next week. Reading the lecture notes and going through the tut questions. Gosh..it's harder than when i first did it...for eg. i only learnt about General Method Of Moments in my honours year, and they;'re learning it in their 2nd year... W O W ...

And oh ya, i found out that i could work from home and looking at what i have to do now, i will most probably work from home most of the times since i only have to do readings at this stage. My desk is much more comfortable at home..haha! I only need to go to Uni on wednesdays since my 2 classes that i'm teaching are on wednesdays. one from 9am to 11am and the other from 11am to 1pm (yea..4 hours at one shot..get it over and done with...). Shall make my consultation hours on that day too! woo hoo! Then Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri, no uni! yee peez! oooh..i love my timetable (wait...what timetable? lol!)

hmmz....pretty excited for PhD....

and the best news...for once in my whole life...NO EXAMS FOR THIS SEMESTER!!!!!! yea, you have my permission to be jealous....^_^
