Huge luck to you as you make this new transition in your life!<BR/><BR/>Here's some unsolicited (and perhaps unwelcome) advice that I wish I had had when I started graduate school: Get a bibliographic software program (Endnote, Bookend, etc.) and start using it immediately -- enter anything you read into it and jot a few notes about what it is about. That way when it comes time for your dissertation, you've got 3-4 years with of source material already logged in. I really really wish I had been doing it all along at the point I started a few years ago. <BR/><BR/>And, hey, thanks for being the first person not related to me to comment on my blog!! :) <BR/><BR/>Stew-Stewgadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341545093347318440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13280638.post-1117790252689371962005-06-03T05:17:00.000-04:002005-06-03T05:17:00.000-04:00Hi there!
