Road 2 Graduation

3

You may have noticed from yesterday’s post that I placed a few ‘go and see this site’ links at the bottom of the article – under the heading of ‘Links’. I’m not going to be able to cover all the information in a blog post and as I generally roam the internet for more than a couple of hours a day (actually it’s probably around 6) I tend to find different articles and resources that link in with my posts. So, by searching for them through other blogs and others sites I can save you time and provide you with some quality content – happiness for both of us, huh?

Howz this gonna work though?

Having a few interesting links at the bottom of a post will hopefully mean you click through to the resource to expand your knowledge and understanding. I write in a different view or ‘sense’ to the next person and you may understand me or them better, but giving you the choice to read in more detail I think is the way forward. Similar to the Sunday Review (the first one being this Sunday – don’t forget!), all articles or sites recommended to be read will have been read, poised over and made the final ‘cut’ to be produced – by your truly (that’s me btw). I love to read, whether it’s about A University Dean getting suspended, or that the government should reduce tuition fees, I’m here to offer some advice and to point you in the right direction – after all you are on your own ‘road 2 graduation’.

Don’t waste your time!

No, I don’t mean click the close button on this post or in your reader! Why try searching around the Internet, or looking through amazon to look for a book that could help you with your dissertation? I’m here to offer advice and aid your direction in finding the answers you really need, and fast! If you don’t find the article you’re looking for, then send me a question or message and I’ll gladly point you in the right direction, or write a post to help you and many others.

What happens on a Monday?

Monday to many is a day when people go back to work, back to the ‘big city’ and back to lectures and classes. Monday, in academia, is a key day to get things done, you’ve refreshed at the weekend (hopefully if you weren’t working too hard) and are ready to get going and rocketing into the new week. Mondays at R2G are going to add a little difference to your life. Posting the top 7 news stories from the previous week that I believe are worth a read, will start on Monday the 5^th (bonfire night, can’t wait!), reviewing the week that was and recapping interesting stories, or blog posts.

Hmm, why not do this on a Friday? – having a Friday afternoon off has become a little bit of a norm around here for me, so I don’t want to miss any posts or stories that are published late on Friday. Plus, you’ll probably want to be out on the town partying with your friends, or (for me it was) slaving away at your job in a town centre bar watching everyone else get drunk!

Fridays for me are a day of easiness and rest, so it’s Mondays that are news days.

Where is R2G going?

Being only ‘up and running’ for just over a month I’ve got great aspiration for the coming months and years for road2graduation.com. Introducing a couple of interesting posts throughout the week, such as Monday roundups and the R2G Sunday Review, I hope to increase your interactivity within this community. Getting video posts and podcasts off the ground will happen over the coming weeks and I believe I’ve scheduled the first podcast to be posted by the end of November.

I’m compiling a few book reviews that cover books related to research, essays and dissertations that I have found of interest lately, and some of which I’ve used during my studies. I’ll start reviewing some popular books towards the start of December – I’ll be completing detailed reviews, so you should get to know some information before you go and actually buy the book.

Not wanting to draw your attention too long, I’d like to say thank you to everyone who has subscribed to the road2graduation’s feed and remind you that there’s much more to come.
