Grads! Re-Searchers!! Survivors!!! Lend me your ears!!!!

As part of our efforts to put together a Graduate Survival Guide for all graduate students, we're opening up a contest to welcome contributions from all of you!

Essays, cartoons, poems, photos, equations, paintings, code, blueprints, questionnaires, boardgames...basically ANYTHING that you can squeeze onto an A4 sheet of paper on ANY SUBJECT relevant to graduate students!!

Judging will be based on the orginality of your contribution, usefulness to fellow graduate students, as well as wittiness, outrageousness, goofiness, bluntness, wackiness, nerdiness, and not forgetting the mockery, the controversy, the eccentricity...etc. Get the idea?

Best of all, a CASH PRIZE of $50 will be awarded for EACH contribution that is accepted for publication.

Submissions are to be made in digital form via email to osagss@nus.edu.sg before 30th November 2009. MULTIPLE and ANONYMOUS submissions are allowed, so all we really need is your bank account number! ;)

Come, share your misery! Leave your legacy!! And walk away with the prize money!!!

p.s. below are some of the more usual, boring suspects:

* 10 easy steps to pass 10 modules
* Juggling evening classes, work and family
* Surviving Qualifying Exam
* Finding a supervisor
* Finding a research topic
* How to write thesis
* Career options...etc. yawn~~~
