Doctoral scholarship CRSH/SSHRC 2012

Any more news today?

Nope. the only significant result I can give so far is that drinking only temporarily helps with the wait and hinders the studying process on the next day

[NeedFunds]

Unfortunately, I too have learned this from experience!

[Dakon]

The solution is to just keep drinking.

[NeedFunds]

Touche!

I emailed a person at SSHRC that I was in contact with a few months ago when there was a problem processing my application. He told me that the letters will be sent out either late this week or early next week.

[NeedFunds]

Nice, it is very difficult to work under these conditions.

[cathaea]

So, best case scenario we have another week of this. Great. But thanks for your sleuthing oxfordphil!

[ducon_lajoie]

Yup, thanks for the update, it's much appreciated!

[oxforddphil]

No prob!

[Ziz]

I'm glad someone else will share my pain when we see others have received their letters and we've still got a few more days until they arrive in Oxford! What college are you at?

[oxforddphil]

Keble. You?

[Ziz]

Lincoln. Also I love Saturday post delivery at times like this .

[Dakon]

I don't trust the French post to send me mine in a speedy fashion.

[oxforddphil]

Lincoln. Also I love Saturday post delivery at times like this .

Amen to that.

Thanks oxfordphil for the information. Fingers crossed that letters will come this week. The wait is nerve wracking!

[Ziz]

Technically it's late this week right? So we could get them next week!

[NeedFunds]

Word on the street is that it is late this week OR early next week. And, in the language of SSHRC, that could mean by the end of the month.

Let's think happy thoughts -- we're in the home-stretch and will probably be out of our misery by early May!

[DMMS18]

I can't believe this. It is 4:00 and I have actually met my goals for today....

I think it is because I KNOW the results won't be here until next week... *sigh*

[canukulhead]

I’m really hoping they will email the results to my school and my supervisor will email me on Friday with the news! Last year I got the news from my supervisor two days before the letter arrived (waitlisted ... #$@!). I want to get hammered this weekend, whether in sorrow (rum) or celebration (Champaign). Group hug now?

[Dakon]

So if you don't get any news, does that mean you have to drink both insofar as you will be stuck in the undecidable state of the insupportable in-between?

[NeedFunds]

Getting no news sounds a lot better when you think about it like that!

[Ziz]

I plan to drink either way. But I'd to be drinking in celebration rather than drowning my sorrows obviously.

[ducon_lajoie]

Agreed here. I hereby promise to have a thought for all here when I drink tonight, tomorrow night, and on friday night (I have good reasons: long day, friend coming over, friend getting married)

Dakon, I feel for you (regarding the French Post, I'm French, I know how much they suck )

[Ziz]

I love the fact that I eagerly check this thread despite knowing that there will be no news until next week at the earliest anyway. I seem to be almost as interested in our collective moaning as any actual results .
