The horrible melodrama that is SSHRC

Sigh....the school doesn't want to send my application to SSHRC, so that means no scholarship for me next year. Okay, okay, I know this blog is about my lazy-ass slacking at school, which begs the question, "what makes you think you deserve SSHRC?"

Well, I'll tell you, I may be slacking now, but I sure as hell wasn't last year, and my CV is looking pretty sweet for a second year doctoral student, if you ask me. Too bad, however, as the Faculty of Graduate Studies won't be asking me. The wonderful people at SSHRC who gave me a scholarship for my Masters won't even see the application. So, I suppose this is the wake-up call I needed...if I don't keep producing, I can kiss any real funding goodbye.

So, I now cross my fingers and hope that the nice people at OGS want to further research on emergency preparedness is disadvantaged communities. Why do I get the sinking feeling that bureaucrats may not have this on the front page their agenda???

It's time to start acting like a student...tomorrow

I'm in my second year of my Ph.D, and I've accepted the fact that I'm the queen of procrastination and avoidance. It's time to change this...starting tomorrow. Really. I know it doesn't sound like I'm actually going to change, but I am.

So, I figure one way to beat the lazies is to post my pathetic wastes of time on here. I know, I know, it's just another way to waste time. However, if I start making people I know read this stuff, they'll find out what a lazy-ass I truly am, which will hopefully embarrass me enough to motivate the change. So, I start today by saying that I didn't do a damn thing today, except play on the internet. Way to go, Ph.D candidate Stace.
