hey there,
out of about 9 funding applications i had made, one was still open. the one i had least hopes about, so, as all other applications were rejected, i kind of concluded that there was no point in hoping that this one would work out. the results were due sometime in August, but i was not aware of that.
well yesterday I received an e-mail welcoming me as an alumni. that got me concerned (turned out it was a mistake) as i do intend to continue studying... so i checked out my regristrastion status etc. online. with some surprise i saw there that apparently my uni owes me some money. what the...?
so i went to our student's service centre, and with a pounding heart, wobbly knees, and trembling hands, made some inquiries. and it turns out - the uni is giving me some funding! just enough to cover the fees and a little extra. wow - i still can't properly believe it. this means, that with my teaching job, and living cheaply, i can manage for the next half year or so. and by then, who knows, some major funding might have come through. whoohoo! :-) :-) :-)

Oh, fantastic, well done,

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great news!!! Congratulations!!! And you know- money attracts money:))

haha, shani, it is even better than ESRC which can only cover the fee for you. Loss is another kind of gain. congrad!

Congratulations, you deserve it I'm sure!

That's great news, Shani, really pleased for you!
