NSERC round 2?

Last night, after I returned home from dodgeball and before I met the girls for coffee, I got a letter from NSERC.

I applied to NSERC, a national science scholarship institution, during the February 2007 competition. I found out in March (around my birthday, no less) that I did not get awarded a scholarship. At the time, I was very angry at NSERC and thought about photocopying my tuckus and sending it to them....good thing I didn't!! Because now, I will gladly take their money after all!

The letter from NSERC told me that I have now been awarded that very same scholarship, due to the fact that they received more money to fund more scholarships. So now, I get an NSERC, which is a major award and gives me a lot of extra bonuses now that I didn't have before! It's a great deal and a great surprise for a random Monday evening.
