Canuckonomist Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 I see you lurking there, SpaceJump... Why are you here during such an uneventful week?
Canuckonomist Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 No email to MSP yesterday, Canuck? I told her I'd leave her alone until september And now for your daily piece of kitteh wisdom
winwinwin Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Has anyone received their first installment cheque?
mudlark Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Awwww, so sorry to check in and find everyone still waiting! I hope good news comes soon. I mean, it's almost time to start a SSHRC 2011 thread. Has anyone received their first installment cheque? My school breaks it up into monthly payments, so I won't get my first payment until the very end of September.
SpaceJump Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I see you lurking there, SpaceJump... Why are you here during such an uneventful week? I've been caught! Ah, checking this page has just become so much a part of my routine now, that I've still been checking this week - albeit with a lot less anxiety than normal
SpaceJump Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Slow Bureaucracy is slow. That is all. Did you talk to MSP? Or is that just an observation on this delightful process?
Phalène Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Canuck, you are planning on emailing MSP at the beginning of September, right?
Canuckonomist Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Canuck, you are planning on emailing MSP at the beginning of September, right? Yes. Yes I am. I'm holding out that we might hear something tomorrow, should those key people be back. Otherwise, I'll e-mail next friday, to see where we're at. At the moment, I'm more 'nail-bitey' about the imminent comprehensives results -but of course, still worried about this, too.
Canuckonomist Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) Check that. I passed. Now I all I care about is this. Edited August 26, 2010 by Canuckonomist
transboundary Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 congrats Canuck! nice. Check that. I passed. Now I all I care about is this.
SpaceJump Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Check that. I passed. Now I all I care about is this. Congrats! That's awesome!
Phalène Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Check that. I passed. Now I all I care about is this. That's awesome, congrats!
ChanEcon Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 It's not the good news I expected (having previously checked my emails, good SSHRC news for you would have been bad news for me), but congratulations! Now you would be able to hold the scholarship, so that's good. I'm in maths boot camp. Painful.
Canuckonomist Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I'm in maths boot camp. Painful. It always is. It's like the initiation process into what is going to be an all-around painful first year. But if Ruqu is teaching Micro, you'll have a great time. Ditto if Amy is teaching macro. I'm just a bit in love with that woman.
Phalène Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Hey Canuck, Could you email MSP on Wednesday or Thursday instead of Friday? I'll be away from the computer Fri-Mon and I don't want to miss the update that there is no update, haha...
Canuckonomist Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Phalene, I e-mailed her last friday, but she'll be out of the office until tomorrow (Monday) so I imagine she'll respond tomorrow, and I'll post my update then. Canuck
Canuckonomist Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) ^^ awesome, thanks! She replies, and I quote "Unfortunately, there has been no movement yet, and no end to the hold at the moment. I apologize for not having more information for you." Cheers, Canuck EDIT: At this rate, we could be the year that gets royally screwed. That said, there are 4 months until December... Edited August 30, 2010 by Canuckonomist
SpaceJump Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 EDIT: At this rate, we could be the year that gets royally screwed. Yeah, at this point, that's pretty much my bet. I mean, I'll keep checking this page for updates, but if absolutely nothing has happened by now...
Phalène Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 That hold has got to end at some point though, doesn't it? And Canuck, if the Vanier winners accepted, how can you not have a SSHRC? This process still doesn't make a lot of sense to me... *clings to hope*
SpaceJump Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 My concern is: Everything I've heard suggests that they didn't get the number of declines that they were expecting. So maybe they overextended themselves in the actual original sending out of awards, and now there's nothing left? I did check in today as well and from what I've heard, the budget people are back in the office. Beyond that, everything I heard was the same as Canuck. I dunno. Either way, I'm truly sick of this wait. Time to get going on my new application, I suppose...
