eponymous_roseWell, that's that. Returned my key, got the "good job, now keep in touch" talk from my supervisor, brushed up on my Italian. This has been an amazing sixteen weeks; I've learned how to make Excel do things against its better judgment, I've met some awesome people, and I've managed to at least partly get over my crippling awkwardness around professors through the shared experience of watching a car blow up. It's been a heckuva summer job, and if this is my first glimpse at a career in research, I want to see more!
A bit of unsolicited advice to everyone - if you ever get the opportunity to try something, even for a short period of time, that's a bit beyond your qualifications/comfort zone, do yourself a favour and give it a shot. It can be really awkward, yeah, but sometimes it's just amazing and that more than makes up for it! :D
No longer a research assistant, then! Just your plain old garden-variety unemployed undergrad.
Bring on year three!
