Today was a good day because I received official notification that I will have funding again next year. Several weeks ago, my department informed me I had been recommended for a certain scholarship. I found myself wondering, what the heck is that supposed to mean? Did I win? Have I reached the next level of competition? Since the first rule of grad school seems to be never believe anything funding-related until you see it in writing, I was hesitant to draw any conclusions. But as of today, all is well! I suspect that the faculty of graduate studies just enjoys the ultimate power of granting funds. Whatever the case may be, I'm very happy that I can continue fossil hunting and playing in the lab for the foreseeable future. Thanks to my department, the university, and the provincial government for convincing me that anthropologist might actually be a viable career choice.
Now that my money woes are somewhat resolved, all that's left is to finish packing. I might even get a pedicure. I think 74 days in the field combined with today's luck might justify a little love!
