Who are the associates?

Honourary Members

Chuck Norris (First Class Honours in Pain)

Because I tend to be attracted to older women.

Apot, you read my mind, I was just looking for that kind of info. I wonder when departments will start publishing how many allocated places they have...it seems the majority of them were supposed to find out at the beginning of march? I just read in another thread that york only got ten places for their english department. That's AWFUL. So you pretty much have to be in the top ten of all the applicants in order to receive funding? ahhhhhhhhh

Arghhhhhh won't hear about funding for my plan b until JUNE!!!! Christ sake

And for anyone interested - click the links down the side to see funding allocations: http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=26&storycode=405690&c=2

What does ETS mean?

Edit: Removal of tasteless oven joke.

There's a particularly attractive older woman who I often see in the library

What am I meant to do today? Quants work. What am I actually doing today? Writing guides to social science funding and listening to music I liked when I was about thirteen, apparently. I think I might link to that post in my profile so that if I ever get asked that question again I can just point at that post and go back to sleep.

Best of luck getting the money; you might want to kill off any UK opposition to increase you chances

How old? I'm not talking like gerontophilic. I mean more like 25-35 range. People with real lives who aren't just masters students like me :-( I wonder if I am projecting.

Dissertation woes. Essay woes. Why am I a grad student?

That’s some impressive procrastination. Not quite as impressive, but still quite good I feel, is my opening up a word document for all these quotes.

Now that's commitment.
