[SaF] academic life

[George]

Hi all,

I paln to do research and be a college teacher as my future career. As a
result, I'm applying some PhD programs in the USA as graduate student
and plan to finish it in the next five years. Now I'd like to prepare
myself to enter into the academic world. So if you guy can recommend me
some on-line info including websites, mailing lists, magazines, journals,
etc., and some books, to better prepare my future including writing up a
dissertation, I'll appreciate.

Thanks,

George
