Ooo, nice kittens! Did you get anywhere with the teaching load at NCSU?

kittens · Post by **kittens** » Thu Mar 09, 2006 12:34 pm

I asked but I have not heard anything yet.... We will see.

I talked to my mentor at Duke and he said even though I get funds for travel and things I might not be able to spend them all.... So he thinks it might not be really affecting me so much.... But we can buy huge computers

FOr NCSU, I know several people already so that I can start doing research right now. So this is a big plus for my career.....

I'm more geared towards UK. New place, more money, giganto funds for research & a desk top and a laptop......sounds great.

I move around a lot, so I may be biased.

Good luck Kittens!

Thank you everyone for inputs

I have decided which one I would take. I took the offer from UK..... b/c it is more challenging and new challenges make me more strong and I can meet more new people. This is exciting!

SO I hope this decision was right one but we will see how it goes

Now that you have made the decision it is the correct one, because you will make it so. Congratulations on accepting the greater challenge and bigger opportunity to grow. I am sure that it will be a great adventure

Congratulations, kittens!! I agree with glorff that you would have made either choice the "right" one... it didn't sound like you could lose either way! So now that the decision is made, let the celebrations begin!! I'm so proud of you for making the more "adventurous" selection... to stay where you are would have been the easier choice, but I think the one you picked sounds better for the long-run. Congratulations, kittens! I'm so excited for you! I hope your transition to the new job is as smooth as possible.

YAY!!!

Wow, I bet that's a huge load off. Wonderful!

You were probably right to go with the place that made you feel more excited. It's a huge decision, but it's DONE

And you'll get to see your North Carolina buds at conferences and so forth, so it really won't feel as though you've left them behind completely.

So now you're going to be a busy lady for awhile... when's your start date?

Oh and huge kudos to that great guy of yours, by the way. Nate did the same thing for me, just took a great leap of faith and moved out here so I could take the job. It's not EVERY guy that would feel comfortable doing that!

^_^ CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW JOB!!!! *CHEERS*

Now that the stress is gone, go and spend the money you don't have yet. =P

Congratulations on your decision.

The Kentuckians I have met have all been very nice, although they have this curious habit of describing their location in relation to its proximity to Ohio

!

They serve a very unusual kind of chili called "Skyline Chili" that has cinnamon in it and is often served over spaghetti, and they make an excellent bourbon whisky called "Maker's Mark" . They use it in the mint juleps that are drunk during Derby Season (first weekend in May). I think they'd be pretty good in August too!

Please keep posting on your UK experience now that you have piqued everyone's curiosity!
