Oh my...another student (with the same supervisor as I do) also got forwarded to Ottawa at my uni. He's a 2nd or 3rd year PhD student while I am still a master's student. He has tons of publications. I know Vanier takes the career stage into consideration (I am only beginning un grad school) but this makes me anxious.

Thanks! I can't wait to hear back from them because I'm applying to a scholarship and I need to be admitted in order to be eligible. I have 9 days left. My application is ready. Just waiting for two LOR and for an admission offer. They told me I'd have an answer before that, but I'm still tired of waiting.

I haven't slept all night. Probably because I took a nap in the afternoon and a coffee around 7pm.

Hello, thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, my institution doesn't have clear guidelines for master's thesis in my field because I am the only student in my program who chose to do a thesis. Social Work is a professional degree, most students choose the field placement option. So I looked for guidelines from other universities in similar departments and looked at the master's thesis of previous social work students to have a better idea of the expectations. I sent multiple parts of my thesis to my supervisor over the last few months. I have gotten zero feedback. I was told by a colleague that it's probably because she has seen it, and is not worried and is waiting to see the entire product before commenting. She has told me that she would give me feedback in the next couple of weeks, as I am approaching towards the end of my degree. I have a very good link with her, I've known her for many years. But the lack of guidance was a struggle, even though I made it through. She is incredibly busy (like many researchers/scholars I assume). I'm not expecting to have an "excellent" comment on my thesis, I just want to pass at this point.

Hello, I am submitting the initial version of my thesis in about 2 weeks. How often do students fail at this stage? I'm anxious about this. I know I won't win the Nobel prize with this, I just want a pass and want my thesis to be decent enough so I don't get ashamed of it in 20 years. I can say that I've worked hard, done my best. I enjoyed the process but was definitely a lot more work than what I had expected. My supervisor will give me her comments prior to the initial submission. I'm still feeling anxious about not passing.

I went shopping today. Helped me to feel less anxious.

I live in Canada, was told I should hear back by the end of the month.

Today was the deadline to apply to my PhD program for Fall 2019. My application file is complete since Dec. 04, 2018. I'm tired of waiting for my admission decision. I'd love to get Trudeau scholarship. I spoke to former scholars who all believe that I would be competitive. Yet, I'm afraid I won't get it because I'll be entering my first year as a PhD student next Fall I'm afraid my master's thesis is not good enough

Tarot readings! I forgot to mention that lol

Hello, I have also applied to OGS. I've used the same proposal, but for my uni, the OGS form gave less space to describe my research project.

I think Monday.

Hello, are scientific publications crucial to win this award?

Maybe try to publish something (either a newspaper article, or a scientific article) based off your master's thesis ? I am in social work though. I am going to try to do that this summer.

Are they worth the hype? Which ones is best in your opinion?

I want feedback on my thesis asap to graduate on time but my supervisor seems beyond busy we've made a schedule today, hopefully she'll stick to it.

Just a question like that. I'm asking multiple people in my field to have a better sense of this.

Thanks!

I got forwarded to the national competition for SSHRC Doctoral.

I got forwarded to the national competition for SSHRC Doctoral by my university

I feel so anxious.

My future thesis supervisor told me that I should have an offer of admission before the deadline to apply for Trudeau. Yay!

Someone wants to nominate me for an award. They told me today.

One of my friends is going to the United Nations in March to speak about women’s issues. I could’ve applied as well to be part of this but I did not because I wasn’t confident I’d get selected. I also think I am not experienced enough to talk about these issues. I feel bad, I should have applied instead of having impostor syndrome as my research is directly on this topic.

I have a job interview in a few minutes. I'm scared that I am not qualified for this job, but at the same time, am aware that I am probably under-estimating myself because my competencies and work experience do align with what they are looking for. I guess it's just being nervous about doing something I have never done before. But it's also related topic on the TAship that my master's thesis supervisor gave to me this term.

double.
