Rather, the name which goes on the position is only for paperwork purposes. Both myself and my friend, are still looking for other funding opportunities, including GTA positions in other departments. Also, the main library is reopening, and so a position in the library is a very real possibility. <br /><br />My friends and I are the first PhD students in my department, and the department is unused to allocating funds for PhD students. They expected, it seemed, one of us to get one of the fellowships offered in this University (which they have had done in previous years). The department is unprepared, but not malicious. <br /><br />I appreciate my wife's worry, because not knowing the future can be a difficult thing, and it certainly is. I appreciate all of her readers indignation on our behalf. It's nice to know your cared for. I wished, however, to come, in some small way, to the defense of my department and my advisor.Veiltenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412531353831549320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-49980026314972174382009-05-24T23:18:36.642-04:002009-05-24T23:18:36.642-04:00You'd think their adviser could at least have a Sc...You'd think their adviser could at least have a Scrabble challenge or something to decide the fate. But maybe a coin toss will breed less hard feelings. Maybe.<br /><br />If he doesn't get the job, (or even if he does,) I'm sure there IS gov't help available.
