Letters From USA 12

Hi Mum and Dad

Thanks for all your help and encouragement the last time we spoke.  This PhD thing is not entirely difficult but it is not a walk in the park either.  It seems a doctorate is not only about being a scholar, its also about meeting deadlines, time management, and other adult stuff, which I’m not very good at.  I thought I’ll learn fast, but its being a slow learning process.  Time only allows us to do so much in the PhD program, which is sad because there is so much to read even within your specific concentration but then I guess that is what the dissertation is about.  Second semester is winding up and final papers will be due as from next week.  What else...  hmmm...  nothing much but work, work and more work, I guess.  As soon as I get some of this back log work behind me I will look into my summer schedule and send you a report.  No fellowship money for summer so I’ll be working every shift I can get in the library – everything should work out okay.

Love, Bunmi
