It's very difficult to explain when somebody ask....

1. how is your Phd progress?
2. what stage are you?
3. You still haven't defending your proposal?
4. have you done the econometric part?
5. You are still not writing anything?
6. Blablabla etc

People keep asking me these questions.Sometimes it is very difficult to explain to those who are not familiar with the route I've taken. Most of them are more familiar with Phd using research/thesis writing. So let me explain that I'm pursuing my study using the coursework + dissertation route. When I enrolled to this university they made compulsory to anyone from the education background to be in this route so I've no choice. The reason they made it compulsory because those who are in education line will have to use all the theories when they go back teaching in their universities (this is what they said and I've no argument about this). We have to spend 2 years for coursework and another 2 years for dissertation. Even the study plan given by the university itself didn't show that we manage to finish in 3 years like using another route. So, for this almost 2 years I've finished my coursework + comprehensive exams and haven't started with a writing but Insyallah it will be soon.

Dear Azuriy, Assalamua'laikum,

The first thing I should say is;...Cool Sis, Cool.

Just take positive of what they asked (including my self..however, after I rechecked all my previous entries, only questions of type #1, and definitely not #6..ha3X). If you feel tired to answer, just smile.(You say the best, when you say nothing at all).

Keep smiling and have a good weekend Sis. Don't forget to recite 'doa akhir and awal of hijrah year' next week. Salam Maal Hijrah. I-lal-li-qa' was-sa-la-mah.
