Kelly, I got in trouble for not letting him know when I was in Sacramento recently. I'm sure I'd be more entertaining than HP. Kitti, I did that last year. I worked for my advisor as a research assistant. I still do that now, but it's more on a volunteer basis and is part of the agreement for getting a stipend for my 2nd year. I actually didn't like a lot of what I was doing last year. The research basically bored me and I didn't feel invested in it. There's something about doing someone else's research that is both good and bad. It's great to get the experience, but you know it's not your interest and takes you away from doing what you want to do. I ran because I knew it would be relevant and I like being involved. I want to TA next year and work for a prof as a TA in the summer. I don't have much of a social life, so still being a student leader would not be a big deal. Joel, That's what I've always feared. Nebur, I was pretty happy when I heard about UCLA's Pac-10 tourny win, even though I didn't bet on it. If I am going to run, I need to make the decision soon. Jeff, When they found out they sent the check to the wrong person, they felt really bad and got me a new check. I haven't had any problem getting reimbursed recently. The positives are pretty good. I saw a few rainbows on the way back to LA. Sweet. Irasali, Short answer, yes. Long answer, see most recent post. Tin,

Kelly,
I got in trouble for not letting him know when I was in Sacramento recently. I’m sure I’d be more entertaining than HP.

Kitti,

I guess it's like training for what's to come in your future and once you've been through this, the rest will seem easy. I can't believe they sent the check to the wrong person..

(and she'd know- as a professor and undergrad advisor, she was always there for other people, to an extent that i'm sure compromised her time to do what she needed to do on the brink of being reviewed for tenure. but i digress.) i'd pass that along to you as something to consider.. whatever your decision is, i'm sure it will be reasonable and right for you, and i wish you luck with it. (*although i'm sure it actually *is* relevant and people will see that if you give it the right spin. or maybe you won't even have to spin it. listen to me talking like i have any idea what i'm talking about. =P) cindy, is there anything (paid) you can do that’s more in line with your career goals? the money and the travel sound like the best pluses to me, but the questionable relevance* to future jobs and especially the slacking on the school stuff are definitely minuses. when i started teaching, the advice given to me by a former prof turned mentor/friend was to make sure i didn’t let their needs eclipse my own, that my first job was as a student and i needed to remember that.
