I asked our department if they have any updates on the SSHRC results and they said not yet.

You are right that stressing about it won't really help anything and that we don't have any control over the whole process but I honestly I can't help it  I will try to to do other things to keep my mind off of this but it's going to be so HARD.

hahaha LoL. To check or not to check, this is the question. ?

Start with a polite "harassing" email. Let them know that you know that they are going to know before you know the results, but politely. In a subtle way say this waiting is killing me and stuff. Then every five days make the "harassing" email more direct till they give up and get tired of your emails and tell you "OK we will let you know as soon as we find out". This strategy usually works
