I just got the official e-mail, my scholarship extension has been approved, and I've got funding through 12 December. It is amazing the relief/joy this news brings me, even though I've got all kinds of safety-nets in place had they chosen to say "no".

(clovis_t's parents say we can moved back in with them if we need to, and we've been saving money with the intent to travel after we finish our degrees, so in a pinch could live on that instead, but travel would be more fun.)

Now "all" I've got to do is complete the thesis and get to work on writing paper(s) for publication based upon my research, find a post-doc or teaching position scheduled to start mid to late 2009 and do a bit of travel/visiting friends all over the world in between finishing up here and arriving there...
