The good news is that I was awarded the Quassi Pre-doctoral assistantship yesterday. I get paid the same as a normal assistantship (I think) and I will probably lose my great office, but it will give me a lot more freedom to work on my own stuff next year and I won't have obligations to any faculty members. It is also a competitive position so it will look great when I am on the job market. So I am very very happy about that.
The bad news is that I got all my immigration papers in order so I will be coming back to the States after my trip home. Sorry about that.
So proud and happy for you, Mr. QuaSSi!
