Did anybody say pineapple, yet? Just kidding but not really. I don't really care for food trucks.... And Ironman is my least favorite Avenger.

Oh noes...i'm all LATEEEEEEEE and the saga has ended! My grad school life is important RIGHT NOW...since we're grad students. But, frankly, I'd prefer someone who would fit into the other part of my lives (like my real one, the one I came from and will go back to). Hang in there, wildviolet! I l live through you as another transplant to the Midwest in Education.

I CANNOT live on a graduate student stipend in my 30s...which seemed luxurious in my 20s. There are a lot of opportunities for free food that I've been missing out on quite a bit.

I live in a small space and I like it. My friends have complained about the space actually (lol) but I don't care because I chose my space to be closer to campus. I am situated in the capital area of my campus and am about 10 minutes from my office and department. However, I rarely work at home because I have made my space so comfortable...I just end up watching k-dramas.

They got my name right in my rejection letter :-) Better luck next time, folks.

TROLLING already ANXIOUS people? That's terrible! Well, I'm not saying that it has happened in this thread, just feel bad that it happens, period.

cool figure_out congrats! keep us posted so we can support you along the way too. for those who do make it through - i hope they post about their experiences as it would help others in the future.

No - guess I'm out? LOL these things are always crap shoots. So you apply for them and also look for more reliable sources....like TAing for me lol Besides, I'm used to being ignored, it's exactly what my research is all about.

Yanders is making me nervous lol I hope everyone has fun New Year's plans!

^You mean the finalists will be notified by the first week of January?

It does? Thanks, I hope so. :-) sometimes studying the process of racialization can be very...depressing. It's for a PhD program. I am hoping to get funding to begin my 3rd year. So, this will be the last year that I am applying. Others, still have hope lol what are others doing?

I'm already in my program. Studying immigrant and refugee and/or low-income students that are considered underrepresented in higher education (of Asian and Southeast Asian descent). I am American-born with parents who are refugees from Southeast Asia.

First time applying for me. I looked at my submitted resume and found a mistake. My essays are okay...nobody helped me look at them though. I have no honorifics or anything (errr) so none of the optional stuff submitted. I did receive 5 recommendation letters. ::sigh:: I'd really like to get this funding but it's a long shot - as it seems, for everyone.

I wish I had a job to hate :-/

I feel beaten down because I live in a world where an unarmed teenager can be shot by a cop without legal just consequences. I am sad that I am acquaintances with people that tell me to get over these things and practice "functional apathy." It easier for them to do so because they don't have brothers, cousins, or nephews that are criminalized by the color of their skin; but I do, so it's hard for me to not be scared sometimes.
