I walked into Dr Tee's office around 11.18a.m today. I beamed in delight upon seeing Dr Tee for I know I'll be engaging in an intellectual discourse with him in a while.
After listening to my explanation and scanning my proposal, he said that my proposal is feasible to be done at PhD level. He suggested that I read more on TPACK since that would be my main concern since the batch of students I'm teaching at the moment has a huge gap in pedagogical and content knowledge since they have different content background.
Since I am going to pursue my PhD under TESL, Dr Tee said I would need to have two co supervisors. He agreed to be one of them and when I asked him to recommend a TESL supervisor, he told me that he has worked with Prof Moses before. I took a research class with Prof Moses before and I recognise his expertise. Well, I would be getting the best two PhD holders among the best to supervise me in doing my research.
Dr Tee suggests that I should be seeing him on regular basis to discuss on my research. I'll be seeing him once a month then. So, I would better keep up with my readings!
On the other hand, deep in my heart, I feel scared. I did not question my own capability in completing the journey I would take to have accomplish my mission, but I'm afraid to think of the challenges I would face along the way. Would I be suffering from depression? Would I falter? And the list could go on....
I know that I have to be strong and steadfast. Stop procrastinating and giving lots of excuses. I need to buckle up and be prepared for a rough journey....
