It has been 2 years and 3 months I'm in this crazy research journey (the academicians called it as PhD). With all the dramatic and twisted plots finally, finally I managed to get through my confirmation stage. At my university we have to defend our research proposal after 1 year of our registration. For international student like me we can ask for another 3 months extention without any problems. Should we need more time after that, then only things can get a little bit complicated. For my case, things were a little bit complicated due to miss matched of supervison team. I don't want to go bitching around about the past but it was a very 'expensive' experience for me during that time. Not only both of my supervisors didn't even try to defend me during my confirmation seminar (I can forgive them for doing that actually) but the fact that after I didn't get through the confirmation stage and none of them made any efforts to contact me really make me MAD. I didn't expect them to say sorry or to console me, but just to show some caringness when I was in a deep pain. After all we worked together for 1 and the 1/2 years to do this project but right after my seminar they ignored me as if they never knew me before. My associate supervisor who is almost one year younger than me even pretended she didn't see me if she saw me after that. I was invisible to her eyes....how strange was that!!!!! But.....that's life isn't it, this things will never stop, you will meet this type of human being for the rest of your life. Sometimes even worst than my EX-supervisors. To me both of them are so unprofessional academicians, and as human being they are just immature and childish. Perhaps they thought with their Dr title they are God (puhleaseeeee not in a millions years with that kind of attitude). Opssss hang on didn't I say that I don't want to bitching around about the past hahahahaha. Sorry I got carried away when comes to this particular 'experience'.....
Anyway, finally the sun came out and here I am still in this crazy game with a confirmed status for my PhD status. Yes, after 2 and 3 months of madness changed of supervisors and faculties finally I made it. While my previous supervisors 1 of them left the university that I'm studying at (at the end of the day I was the one who stayed and he left the uni when his original intention was to make me leave....), and another ex-supervisor still working here but hardly dare to look at me if we bumped into each other. I joined my new faculty and due to time constraint the uni asked me to prepare my confirmation document and seminar within 3 months!!!! Even, English native speaker NEVER did that before. The earliest they can submit a confirmation document and had their seminar was in 10 months time. But I had to do it in 3 months time.....what an experience aye. I had to start all over again, everything from scratch and the rest is history.....(To be continued).
