Looks like his predictions of the end of the world may be right. The good friar has gone and gotten himself a facebook!

Well, going on a slight tangent, I saw Criminal Lovers, a masterful film made by French director Fran

Wow. You seem to have the maturity level of a 14 year old. Most of us are grown up, and stopped comparing genitalia in the school yard, you however, seem to be an exception to this maturity. I'd recommend growing up, going through puberty, and then returning to the grad cafe once you are capable of having inteligent discourse with other people.

I won! Party time!

Au contraire, I'm afraid. According to a document on nsfgrfp.org: "You can defer the award for up to two years and take other funding if this is something that appeals to you. You might also defer the first year, take two years of funding, then defer another year, for example." http://www.nsfgrfp.org/assets/File/NSFG ... 08%20NEW(1).ppt So, for example, you can accept NDSEG, use that for 2 years, and then use the GRFP funding.

Do you really think that this will get us anywhere? And if you think it's such a good idea, then you ought to do it yourself.

Ah, the Hiroshima. First, take one shot of everclear. Put into it one red maraschino cherry, which symbolizes the "red button". Light the shot on fire, and drop it into a pint glass of Kirin (a Japanese beer). Drink it down as fast as you can. It is truly a drink of last resort.

1100, or I drink 2 Hiroshimas.

If the awards aren't announced today, I'll go and drink a Hiroshima, the drink of last resort. You all should too.

a1000, your wording was, from the perspective of any civilized person, quite rude. It is written in an arrogant, self-centered fashion, and regardless of the tone of voice that you used, saying such things as "I see. So no one at this line has any actual knowledge of when the awards will be announced or the actual reason for a delay." is not considered acceptable. I may just be old fashioned, but that strikes me as being rude.

I called back around the transcript deadline, and one of the people whom I talked to said something about handling my transcript himself, so I think that they also do that. I got the impression from something else I heard/saw (can't remember which, it was a while ago) that they do everything for the application process, aside from making the final decisions on the awards. Who knows? If you really want to know, you could call them and ask :roll: , although hopefully in a more polite fashion that that a1000 person. Regardless, we'll all know in a short while...

Hekog is right. When I've called, I've always been polite, and they have always been helpful. If they aren't able to give any concrete answers, maybe it's because there, well, are none. And if there are, maybe they don't know them. Either way, I highly doubt that being rude will get them to tell you information that they won't tell anyone else, even in the highly unlikely event that they are holding it in, and keeping it from us (which does not benefit anyone).

No, you can only defer the GRFP if you are in school and receiving funding from another source, such as, say NDSEG.

Just a prediction, but I think that the first sign of a notification will probably be in your inbox, not on Fastlane. Just my 2 cents.

NO, it won't. There is only one way to get the hot babes:
