I was hoping that it would be tonight. I'm defending my undergrad honors thesis tomorrow, and it would be a nice way to break the ice with "Hey, got NSF last night..." Although, now that I've expressed that dream out loud, I'm even more sure it won't happen...

Um... also, does everyone else no longer see the message about scheduled maintenance tonight?

I never saw it to begin with, just saw the note about it here. After all this waiting, nothing would surprise me anymore ... .except maybe getting an award :)

"Welcome to the FastLane Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP).

Due to the complexity of the current budget situation, the 2009 GRFP awards will be announced in installments based on fields of study and other factors. The first installment is now available on FastLane. Awardees, as well as Applicants not recommended for funding, have been notified by email. Recipients of Honorable Mention and any additional Fellowship award offers will be forthcoming. Applicant ratings sheets will be available after all award announcements have been made. We thank you for your patience. "

Yeah, it's kind of sad, isn't it? :::wanders off whistling "despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage ...::::

Whenever I read this forum for too long, I get wistful songs from musicals stuck in my head. Mostly it's "Tomorrow" from Annie, and "Somewhere over the Rainbow." Pretty awesome, I know.

if info from the GRFP people coincides with large numbers of page increases in this forum, we may be in for some news...

lol, hasn't it been on/off for 2 months now?

As someone who checks to see if the "Request lost password" link on the rating sheet page works three times a day: no, it's just been on.

Before it just wasn't letting you on it. Now it gives an error, but it has done that before w/ no problem... just playing devil's advocate.

The wait is over, Allah be praised! I got an email saying that I had gotten an honorable mention about 5 minutes ago! Time to celebrate!

Holy crap, really!? Wow, it's finally time...?

I will trust this once there is an email sitting in my inbox... Or once the awardee list updates.

Neither has happened.

Exactly. We've had enough false alarms by folks posting on this forum that I don't believe ANYTHING until I see the email, which I haven't.

So, does anyone know how the two seventh game hockey series are going?

Wings won, looks like B's and 'Canes are going to OT.

Excellent.

I'm going to wait up until at least midnight, just to see if fastlane actually does go down--perhaps they've retracted their claim as noted by the "original" status on the website.

As a guest who has turned to this forum countless times to ease the waiting, I have finally registered to help us reach 200 pages. The hope is strong tonight.

I think 3000 posts is another excellent goal to consider.
