e_sac Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 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...
denidzo Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 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
unclelurker Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 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. " rats in a maze.
denidzo Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 rats in a maze. 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 ...::::
meowser Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 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.
will Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 I'm guessing that it will be somewhere around 400 more awards too.
egosumliber Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 if info from the GRFP people coincides with large numbers of page increases in this forum, we may be in for some news...
bioangele Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 The applicant rating sheet page is down! lol, hasn't it been on/off for 2 months now?
Hekog Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 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.
PSi_light Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 lol, hasn't it been on/off for 2 months now? 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.
BioChemGod Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 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!
caezar86 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 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...?
meowser Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 I will trust this once there is an email sitting in my inbox... Or once the awardee list updates. Neither has happened.
denidzo Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 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.
skinkididoo Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 nothing here either... it's always questionable when someone with so few posts says something like that...
denidzo Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 So, does anyone know how the two seventh game hockey series are going?
kdilks Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 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.
LetUsReach200Pages Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 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.
Hekog Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 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.
meowser Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 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.
