I finished watching "Millionaire" and "Jeopardy" and needed a fix (i don't drink or smoke, i watch tv) so i scanned the channels and bumped into "Miss Teen USA 2007".

I'm feeling a little anti-establishment tonight, can't stand red tape.
Over the last couple days i have been reading and working on my proposals of which i now have one page (single space); one more page to go!
I had some shrimps for dinner today, again. I've been having it once per week for the past two weeks. I was allergic to all seafood except codfish and tuna.

Good luck on the seafood. My uncle used to love lobster, shrimp et al. but developed an allergy. I hope the same doesn't happen to me...
When is the deadline for these scholarship thingees you are working on? And which ones btw? Do tell...
It's the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council Scholarship(SSHRC). Since my MA program will take 12mths, i have to apply now for 2008-2009, which will be the year i start my Doctorate. The OGS is 15,000 and the SSHRC is 20,000 for 4 years (i think) in addition to TA funding. The deadline is around the end of September/October.
Starting your Doctorate! Gone then! Good stuff Jerisha! I really don't know if I can make that phd you know...
Yes, Ward, you CAN make that PhD thing. You have to, you must...
But if you decide not to, i'm still happy for you!
