Macavity got a reaction from Diakonos in SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship/CGS Doctoral Scholarship 2014-2015
I had a dream last night that I won CGS. In Caliban's words,
"and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.”

Macavity got a reaction from dat_nerd in Child free
Because I'm only 23 with another 4-5 years of school ahead of me, people haven't been bugging me about babies yet. My husband and I are set on not having babies, although the possibility of adopting an older child has been thrown around as something we might do in the distant future. The kicker is that we got married at 21, and usually people who get married that young are intent on having children young too.
As soon as we have extra income, we're going to blow it on travelling Can't wait!

SSHRC just tweeted that the letters will be sent out next week:
"@Stellar_StellaD Should be sent out next week but we will tweet next week to confirm." https://twitter.com/SSHRC_CRSH/statuses/456827459233533952 -

So. Ok...
This is totally unverifiable but I heard from a colleague that the departmental Chair in our department said that they are supposed to release this week..... Again completely unsubstantiated but I figured i would share any information that I come across.

This time last year, I was stalking the 2013/2014 SSHRC thread and thinking, "man, next April is going to be a looong month." I was right.

Friends from undergrad: "So why aren't you applying to Oxford and other UK schools?"
Me: "Because I would rather stay in Canada, where the top researchers in my field are located and where I'm more likely to receive generous funding."
Friends from undergrad: "But it's OXFORD."
Friends from high school: "So are you finished school yet?"
Me: "Well, I applied to some PhD programs, so potentially not for another 4-5 years."
Friends from high school: "Can you even get a job with that? Did you know that you don't need to go to university to get a job? I have a job!"
Parents (every time the topic comes up): "Okay, just so we're clear. What exactly is a PhD?"
