Hello all, I got an HM, but the comments were generally positive. Thanks for keeping me entertained!

Dear Higgins the very brave, I've been reading this forum for a little over a month now and always found your haikus very amusing, well written, and funny. I am in the same limbo status as you are. Even though forums are very limiting to get a sense of what people are like in real life, I get the sense that you are an intelligent, persistent, and humorous person with a lot of character. This last month may have been very rough on you, but please don't give up, because science needs people like you. What I've noticed in my own life is that it is the darkest before light comes again. I so hope you do get the NSF. And if not, please don't give up. Are you able to do teaching to cover some of the costs of grad school? Also, just curious, what did the best month of your life involve? warm regards, Di Hu Anthropology University of California, Berkeley P.S. Here's a double-haiku for you: NSF-Not so fun Dogs and cats asleep While we count NSF sheep Our papers, a heap Dogs and cats dreaming of milk bones and fancy mice We, "click click click, sigh."
