Amen to that. I just finished grading a problem set...after 4 hours, most of which was spent banging my head against a wall.

Yay! Being from a "bumble" state where people think science = evolution = the devil will pay off for once...

Great, thanks! My adviser is waiting for me to accept a summer RAship depending on NSF...I'll just keep putting him off.

To distract from the madness a little, I have a legit question that I haven't been able to find an answer to yet and hope someone on here will know- If I did receive the GRFP, when would the funding be released to me? I'm looking for money to support my research starting this summer and am wondering if NSF GRFP money would start coming in over the summer or if it wouldn't start until fall. If someone knows for sure, then I know whether or not for sure to look for grants/money for the summer. Thanks!

So we shouldn't expect to be notified prior to the list of awards being posted??? I've been thinking that surely winners would be notified and they would have to log in, accept, yada yada, and that they would have been notified by now for the entire list to be posted by "early" April. Last year when I did not get it I didn't get a notification e-mail of my rejection until like 2 weeks after the list had been posted on fastlane, by the time I'd gotten over the rejection they just sent me a reminder e-mail..thanks. So there is still hope?!?!?
