HUGE STEP

        Next Wednesday we are suppose to prepare a 10 min presentation for Research Methods, and a work-in-progress for a Critical Position workshop !. therefore, I requested a tutorial from Theo, which took place today afternoon in HG cafe'.

14 Nov  Student research methods presentations 1 and 2

Tutors: Clive Cazeaux, Gareth Loudon 

        How good it feels when you discuss your ideas with someone actually understand and knows what are you saying !. The session was so helpful even though it didn't take more than 15-20 minutes. I am more confident of what I'm doing and going to do in the long term. What you - as a postgrad student - need is not someone who tells you what to do, rather someone who listen to your ideas and guide you to the right direction. < am I right or what ?!

        Don't get me wrong I don't know how to start organising my thoughts on paper - or shall I say power point - but at least ! I have ideas worth sharing, to me this is a BIG big step ! something I didn't have in Critical Position Carnival couple weeks back ! AlHamdulellah

Wish me LUCK !
