I have been in London for more than a month. My purpose is to pursue MPhil/PhD programme at SOAS for the next three years or so. I have been attending two courses, namely Post colonial theory and technique of comparative literature. The way how we study in SOAS is quite different from the one I have in my country Indonesia. In Master level, for instance, we are required to read at least some 90 pages of chapters from three different books which are then supposed to summarise and give comments on what we have read. Thi is only for one meeting. Imagine that we have around 10 meetings per three months which the people call ‘terms’.
