For the last two months what I have been doing is just study and study. No more classes or assignment. A really independent study. I have 2 more comprehensive exams to sit on this coming fasting month. One paper will consists of different questions from 3 different lecturers who specialize on their parts. The 3 different lecturers are usually using 3 different books. For both papers, it means that I need to read about 18 books before sitting for the exam. My brother said I have ample time to study but believe me for one topic I’ve covered it took more than a month. May be I’m a slow learner that I just realize when I started to pursue for my Phd. Assumptions, modeling, numerics and equations are really torture for me to finish. There are many times I fall into this; 
and there are many times I tried reading, feel so saturated or when I tried doing questions, and I just can't seem to recall any information nor think.
But I guess that is the life of a student. So, I don’t need to complaint. This is the path I’ve chosen, so I just follow the path and do what I’m suppose to do. Besides that, I was paid to study and I know a lot of my friends out there will say this ‘bestnya kalau kerja mcm u tak payah buat apa-apa, study je”. Ha3x. Only God knows.

Study!Study! Study!Chaiyok2!
Dear Sis Azuriy, Assalamua'laikum,
A slow learner doesn't mean that you cannot finish your PhD with flying colors. The tips below might help you to keep out the bored feeling;
i) Try to keep yourself always have 'wuduk'
ii) If you can't do the above (normally for few days every month) you can recite a lot of 'solawat'. While reciting it, deep in your heart, you need to ask for good understanding and easy memorizing with 'ambil berkat' of the name of nabi Muhammad.
InsyaAllah, and I believe you are going to finish it strong. Keep smiling Sis. I-lal-li-qa' was-sa-la-mah.
