I will be living with a roommate next year. It'll also my first appartement (I still live with my family). At first, I was thinking of moving out on my own, but one of my friends introduced me to this girl who will also be starting her PhD in the same university as me (but in another program). I also googled her and found that that she wrote op-eds for newspaper, did humanitarian work in Africa, considers herself to be a feminist, anti-racist researcher. I met her a few weeks ago at a café, and she also doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't party much (just like me). I think my friend did a good job in thinking we would be a good fit. Plus, we're going to support each other during the first year of PhD studies.

Very true!

If you get the email, tell us here! I guess we have three more days before we know about Vanier!

Yes, in September though living in montreal right now !

Agreed! He even helped me with my leadership statement for Vanier! Thank you so much for your help!

are you also a uOttawa?

Hello folks, My first authored journal article got rejected from the first journal I have submitted it to. I was wondering if you knew about academic journals who would publish the work of a masters student in social work. My research focuses on sexual violence against women, and practices surrounding disclosures of sexual violence. Any help would be appreciated. If the journal in French, that would be a bonus. I am looking online but they all seem to publish only large samples of participants... Thanks,

How do you guys manage the anxiety related to results? The waiting is hard lol.

I don't know where you live but student housing for September fills up really quickly. The time is now. For regular appartements, I'd say in June/July for September?

Let’s hope we’ll have the results early too!

What was the expected date of results for NSERC?

Also a first generation here! Thanks for this thread.

External examiner was supposed to send comments on my thesis on March 19th. It's now March 29th. Still did not get anything and I need to submit the final version of my thesis by April 15. Arrrggghhhhh. I just want to know I passed

I did a public speaking workshop yesterday and it went really well, I made the crowd laugh a couple of times.

thanks!! I'll look into that.

I wanted to buy this but they don't ship in Canada

Sarah McHahon I believe is her name. Thanks!!

Yes! ResearchNet said April 4th!

Same! I am going to have a panic attack when I’ll get the email lol

Thanks. I'm going through a rough phase again tonight. I find it hard, for real. And I feel ashamed and guilty at the same time because lots of people tell me they'd like to be in my shoes. But when I get sad, I re-read the replies to this thread. PS: I am now 26.

Other than the fact that it's a lot of money, I feel like when you get Vanier, you're taken more "seriously" as a student-researcher? Isn't that the case?

same here.

Well, I am a panelist at a event on April 6th. The organizers asked me to make a contest for people to win a pair of tickets, and they asked me to spread the word on my FB page. But I think they see me as more popular than I actually am, because nobody manifested their interest into taking part of the contest...it's a bit humiliating even. Argh. (social media anxiety #firstworldproblems)

It means results will be available on April 1st at midnight in my opinion.

First article rejected. But I did get a few comments so I am going to try to apply them to the article and publish it in a less prestigious journal.
