ka-pow!
and so the shoe has dropped: bye-bye bio sci, hello (again) student programs. i have mixed feelings about this change. the good: i love love love working with students, so i am excited to get back that part of my youthful enthusiasm. plus i get to work for my mentor, so that can be nothing but good things, right? the bad: i was really gaining some traction over here in biological sciences, making a name for myself, but more importantly, building a program and really reaching alumni. and my view was ridiculously awesome. the ugly: while at biosci, i was an (interim) assistant director, which means going back to my manager position kills my stipend. minus money for me. couple that loss with the impending pay cuts, and i will have lost 17% of my salary in a matter of a month... ouch! to give you an idea of how much that is, it will essentially equal my rent. did i say ouch yet? O-U-C-H. time for a second job.
current mood: i'm not sure what to feel
