Didn't I just start this journey? How is it ending already on December 15th in...Texas? I still have trouble believing this is all real.

I am thrilled to announce that I was offered and accepted a full time job opportunity in my new field starting sometime in January. I am sorry that I have to keep the details vague for now, but it is not 100% certain since it needs a final level of approval. It is a perfect match for what I'm learning & doing now and where I want to go, and I've received an accolade of You do us proud (as they say in Texas) from one of the co-PIs on my fellowship grant regarding it. The interconnectedness of this opportunity all the way back to 10 years ago as I was figuring out what to do for a job when I moved to the state (in January) is quite tangible and somewhat freaky.

Please send any good thoughts you have of it being finalized within the next few weeks so I do not go completely insane from uncertainty as I wrap up my coursework.

Tonight I received an unexpected phone call as I was being a dork and pulling my regalia out of the closet for this picture saying the position is not a matter of if but when, and a few other details that put me somewhat more at ease. We shall see how it goes.
