Before the real PhD Life start



Actually, InsyaAllah I will start my PhD on nect July, 1 in the University of Western Australia (UWA). Hopefully, I can depart to Australia together with my husband and my little doughter. As a PhD mom, I know that my life in Australia will not easy. So from now, I start to prepare my PhD.
What have I done for my PhD preparation:

1. Money. I have prepare the amount of money far before I apply for my PhD. Since, I want to go for PhD with my family, so I need the lots of money. I need more than one year to prepare the money. I konw it still less, but I do remember my friend quote "Don't use yor calculator, use Allah calculator instead". Bismillah, "Hope Allah will give the best".

2.  Read paper. When I asked my friend whois pursuing PhD in Netherland about PhD life. She said, "when pursuing PhD, you need to read a lot of paper". This website (https://www.researcher-app.com) offer me a lot of paper. I tried to read the paper when I have a spare time, but my problem is I do not know how to read the paper effectively and how to find the paper which is has best fit for me. May Allah give the clue. Aamiin.

3. Try to do the research by myself. I start to learn new thing by my self. I know, when pursuing PhD i have to have problem solving skill. For this month I try to learn about python, theano, tensorflow, and keras. I face some problem for two weeks, problem about installing the library and problem about starting the library. And than this tutorial help me a lot to install the library (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3Iz9S4yg90) and this website help me to solve my problem about launching the spider in the environment (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34217175/spyder-does-not-run-in-anaconda-virtual-environment-on-windows-10). Alhamdulillah, after a hard problem, there is a solution.
