Alhamdulillah I would like to share that I am finally halfway done with my PhD
I have passed my proposal defense and now I am forcing myself to finish writing my thesis
The system here is different compared to Malaysia system
You can only do your proposal defense here once you are 80-90% done with your research
That's why the gap between proposal defense and dissertation defense (viva) can be between months
DOn't be shocked if I said I will defense by November because it's normal here :)
USA, Canada, and Japan use the same system I guess
We've been working on our research when we first start our Ph.D. and finishing all our coursework at the same time
It's quite tough but everyone can do it I believe as long as you have a high determination to achieve your goal
So for my proposal defense, it was open to public
All my friends were there to support me
They also can ask any related question during or after my presentation
I also have to prepare food and drink to my audience
That's the culture here in the United States
Student have to prepare the refreshment for committee members and the audience
You don't have to be fancy, just cookies and coffee is enough
But for me, my husband chose to do a little bit more
We bought pizza, fruits, coffee, ice cream, and water
Everybody really enjoyed it
That's important to make sure sure that everybody is happy :)
Since 2 of my committee members cannot attend the defense, I have to skype with them
One in Italy and another one in Texas
Everything went smoothly
Only the Professor from Texas asked me some questions to verify my work
The others were satisfied with what I have done
Now, I need to finish one more journal paper and the thesis
I promised my professor that I will finish the thesis writing by this month (September)
I have started working on my thesis since June, so it's basically almost done already
Then, once I finished my thesis, I have to schedule for the thesis defense
If I want to graduate this semester, I must schedule the defense by October 23 and do the defense before November 6
Yeah I know, it seems very fast and rushes but I have to do this since I'm already in my extension semester
My sponsor which is KPT and UMP expect me to come back by February 2020
So no matter what, I have to get this done before that
So yeah, I'm hoping that I can get this done on time
