New hairstyle.

Really? Why?

Wow, August is coming closer and I am getting nervous about travelling on my own to France. I'm afraid I'll get lost, mostly. (I never took the plane on my own as ridiculous as it sounds and I have never been to France). Plus, I have to admit that the terrorist menace is making me nervous as well.

They are going to give out the answers on April 30, it says on their website.

Yeah, and Vanier is the most prestigious doctoral scholarship in Canada, so I would definetely make it a priority instead of the ones you've mentionned!

Nervous.

I got elected to the board of an organization that works for youth in my city. Plus, I started seeing a psychologist tonight (again). But I think this time around, it'll be good for me.

https://electricliterature.com/how-applying-to-grad-school-becomes-a-display-of-trauma-for-people-of-color-7bccd68103bb Has anyone else experienced what's being described in this article? A few weeks ago, I got asked by another woman of color sitting on my graduate committe at university "Why aren't you doing research on black women since you're a black woman yourself?" And after thinking about it, it bothered me because I have other research interests than studying my own community and my own experiences.

Someone talked about my community involvemnt on tv.

My understanding is that you gotta be a US resident to apply to those programs? (I live in Canada).

Do you know if you can apply to Fullbright to pursue doctoral studies in a francophone country?

I heard about this award, I thought of applying but was unsure. Did you get it?

Do you guys recommend investing in a specific type of desk chair?

Same here, but at the master's level. Last summer, I sent all of my undergrad transcripts to know if I was eligible, they said I was. So I applied in the fall. At the end of December, I got an email saying that after reviewing my application, that I was not eligible. So I panicked, contacted them to understand what had happened since they had initially told me that I was eligible. Turns out when I entered my grades in the system, I made a mistake in transcribing my CGPA off my transcripts by two points under the first-class average. They reviewed my application again, and turns out that was the mistake that I was indeed eligible when taking into account my grades on my actual transcript. So now, the system says that I am eligible, and it’s been the case since that situation, but I still have like « left-over trauma » from it. I feel nervous just because of that first-class average criteria because I am aware that I am borderline under or above in or right on it (My first year of uni was tougher and my CGPA was a bit lower during that year). But I think my application was pretty strong on other aspects (I got SSHRC for my first year of study, have research, volunteer/leadership experience, a research project and a supervisor and have won multiple scholarships all throughout my undergraduate studies). I still feel very nervous. I live at my mother’s place still, so it won’t be the end of the world if I don’t get funding from FRQSC but I’d like to get that scholarship because it would be a good asset for my application for doctoral scholarships this year… They say the results come out by the end of April 2018. But I heard that it often comes out very late (I've been told almost a month late one year or two years ago).

Again, it,s the language barrier I guess because I am being misunderstood entirely on this. I don't want to get married and have kids now and I never said that I wanted to have kids and get married at 26. I am saying this to make a comparision statement, because I can't even have a boyfriend. I've already had an "exploration" phase for the last 5 years+ and I'm sick of it. I just wish I could have an official relationship, even if it's for 3 months. I've been free my entire life, met new people for my entire life and I did everything I wanted personally and professionally speaking, and now I wish I could experience something different. It's legitimate and I should never be told that it's not just because I am in my mid 20s.

Do you think it'd be a good idea to have a photobooth on this forum? So we could all post pictures of ourselves? What do you guys think?

I fell in love with my best friend. He's already in a relationship. I tried to forget about him in the last few months, but I was not able to. So I told him about how I felt, and we've decided to go our seperate ways so I can stop suffering. We've known each other since 2012. I'm heartbroken. All of my friends are getting married and having children. And at almost 26, I just wish I could be in a significant and meaningful relationship with somebody that genuinely loves me back, even if it's just for 3 months. I'm devastated.

I am asking this, because I am writing my research proposal for Ph.D. applications along with my future supervisor, and I feel hesitant to ask for help or clarification by fear of being seen as not suited for a Ph.D. program...My sense is that at the Ph.D. level, you are supposed to show that you can be an independant scholar even though you're still a student, right?

I'm still very nervous about me being even admissible for the scholarship because of what happened last semester

I am looking for a book for social sciences researchers who want to use feminist research methodologies in their research design. Any recomamndations?

I'm officially done with all of my course work for this term. I finished one assignment yesterday and I've got two more to go by the end of the Month. Then, I'll start working on my thesis research full-time. Also, someone took a really pretty picture of me, so I put it as my profile picture on FB.

My instagram account just got hacked and spammed. I had to delete all those posts and change my password.

My supervisor suggested that I present something I've done for a congress last year in June. But I feel like that would not be enough (it's a case study with results and it was supposed to be an introduction/glimpse into my initial research project). I think I'm gonna present that case study and explain that my research project changed along the way and explain these changes..or do a lit review type of presentation?

I am surrounded by lots of people, I know rationally that people appreciate me and look up to me, and yet, I still feel incredibly lonely.

I have a question about this, I'm interested into this conversation as well. If you've got guaranteed funding for Ph.D., what happens if you quit your program or finish later than what you had expected?
