  1. Hello, Applications are open at my current university to blog for the graduate department. Basically, it's writing two pieces of blog per month (on top of get togethers with fellow bloggers) to give tips to other graduate students but also share one's experience with graduate school and academia. I have a lot of ideas of topics, but I'm debating whether or not it's worth it for me to apply. I'm already very busy and I wonder what would be the "plus value" to my professional life of doing something like that when I already have a lot on my plate. What are your thoughts?
  2. I learned a very good news for my conference in August. Plus, I wrote an op-ed yesterday to the newspaper and they are going to publish it in the next couple of days. It's a reputable newspaper here and I had tried to get published many many times, but this time around was the good one.
  3. This seems like a very interesting study. I think impostor syndrome is very common, more than what we would think. Unfortunately, I am a MSW student. But good luck!
  4. Hello, I will be presenting a conference paper at the end of August for the first time ever. It's 20 minutes. I have to admit that I am a bit nervous because I have made a first draft of what I want to say, but my supervisor has not given me any feedback on it yet... I am not nervous about the public speaking aspect of it as I am a public speaker in general, but more about the content because it'll be the first time that I'd be presenting something that a conference as a student-researcher. any tips?
  5. Just got back my REB application with comments. I have 16 clarifications/changes to make to my application before resubmitting it. My supervisor is so busy, I have no idea when she'll have time to meet with me so we can start recruiting participants this Fall. I am so sorry.
  6. Yesterday was a good day. I saw two friends yesterday and we had deep and meaningful conversations about life in general.
  7. I'm so bored right now. Can't wait to go back to school in September.
  8. Hello, so I have submitted my REB application about a month ago. I am still waiting. I have sent to my advisor the first two chapters of my thesis (first drafts) and am waiting for her comments on them still. I am almost done with my scholarship application for PhD in Fall 2019. I have also finished preparing my presentation for a conference that's happening in about a month. I feel like I've just been sitting and waiting for the past two weeks, I literally don't know what to do with my time and myself (I finished my first year of my master's program and am now a master's candidate). Anyone else experienced the same thing? How can I use my summer more productively?
  9. Yeah, why? That sounds strange..
  10. Anyone here moving in the Gatineau/Ottawa region in Canada for Fall 2019?
  11. Don't want to repeat what's been said above, but I don't think it's realistic to work full-time while doing a PhD full-time in my opinion. I think it's setting yourself up to failure.
  12. I'm sorry about that.
  13. I believe the some oral defenses are public, so maybe you could attend one from another student (either at the master's level or phD level) just to get an idea of what it is like?
  14. Second driving lessons course tonight.
  15. I am waiting for ethics approval to start recruiting participants for my master's thesis. It's been four weeks. It's long.
  16. I hope you'll still have a chance to apply and be successful!
  17. That's strange, in my case, anyone interested can apply and then the departement/institution select best applicants.
  18. Wow. I don't have advice, but I'm appalled because it seems like horror stories like these are a common thing in Academia. Am I wrong? I'm so sorry you have to go through this, this is really unethical..
  19. The only thing that's missing to my application are my academic referees letters. I always get anxious about that because I'm always afraid that they forget about me.
  20. I don't know why: I can't see the deadline of my chosen university in ResearchNet. Am I the only one? I hope it won't affect the moment when my application will be downloaded by the coordinator of the program at UOttawa.
  21. Do you think I should get a dog? Do you think it's realistic to be able to take care of a pet for the first time (I've never had a pet) while doing a PhD and living on your own?
  22. Wow, no one is applying to PhD programs in SW in Canada? ?
  23. Going to France for a research conference in exactly 1 month!
  24. I am so sorry about this.
  25. Everyone tells me that I have good chances of getting a Vanier scholarship, but I feel like for Trudeau they are looking for something different. am unsure.
