I can be a remarkably insecure, nervous person when I have to make big decisions, and it was immensely reassuring to have people reinforce my gut feeling about the choice I had to make. While I loved Seattle and the University of Washington, I felt like I really couldn’t pass up the chance to work with the group at SUNY Buffalo, especially since I would have the opportunity to do work at a volcano observatory and on active mountains.</p> <p>And, as everyone has said, it’s only for two years. I may think that the campus (the North one, anyway) looks like a prison complex and that Buffalo is a dreary former industrial city (which it is at this time of year), but I will also have a wonderful advisor, a great project and, since the cost of living is so much lower in Buffalo, I will not be <span style="font-style: italic">extremely</span> poor. Everything else is just details.</p> <p>What really sucks is writing/calling everyone else to let them know I won’t be working with them. I’m trying to be as polite as possible, but I still feel like a horrible person. And how the heck do I approach them later on, if I want to work on a PhD at one of those places? “Sorry I didn’t choose you the first time around, but hopefully you can ignore that whole rejection thing?”</p> <p>Oh well. Even if two years go fast, it’s still two years. And I suppose they deal with this often anyway…but it doesn’t make me any less uncomfortable. At least I can’t dither anymore, since today’s the deadline and everything is signed, sealed and sent.<br/></span></p> <br class="clearfloat"/> </div> <p class="postmetadata">Posted in: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://blogs.agu.org/magmacumlaude/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a> <span class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://blogs.agu.org/magmacumlaude/2008/04/15/technically-theyre-bison/#comments">5 Comments/Trackbacks »</a> </span></p> </div> </div> <div class="navigation"> <div class="alignleft"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://blogs.agu.org/magmacumlaude/2008/04/11/decisions/" rel="prev">← Previous Post</a> </div> <div class="alignright"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://blogs.agu.org/magmacumlaude/2008/04/17/playing-catch-up-in-which-cookie-finally-talks-about-some-boston-geology/" rel="next">Next Post →</a> </div> <br class="clearfloat"/> </div> <div id="comments"> <h2>Comments</h2> <span class="title">Technically they’re bison</span> <h3 id="comments-title">5 Comments</h3> <ol class="commentlist"> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="comment-551"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://www.blogger.com/profile/03131032620978696727" rel="nofollow"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/41dc3e007986c35dc46763689fa93174?s=50&d=mm&r=g" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/41dc3e007986c35dc46763689fa93174?s=100&d=mm&r=g 2x" class="avatar avatar-50 photo" height="50" width="50"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://www.blogger.com/profile/03131032620978696727" rel="nofollow">Silver Fox</a> said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://blogs.agu.org/magmacumlaude/2008/04/15/technically-theyre-bison/#comment-551"><span class="time-since">15 April 2008</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>That sounds like a wonderful decision, and maybe you’ll gradually find something about Buffalo that you like (maybe!). What volcano observatory(s) and volcanoes will you be working at? – maybe you don’t know, yet. It sure sounds exciting!As for the other offer, the words might seem difficult, but I would think that almost anyone working in your field would understand an opportunity to work at a volcano observatory. Maybe just tell them you really appreciate their offer, had an offer you couldn’t refuse, and say something like you look forward to working with them sometime in the future. If they are really great people, maybe you can even keep in touch somehow? Would it be appropriate for one of the Seattle profs to be an off-campus advisor? That might not be available or reasonable, though.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-login" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://blogs.agu.org/magmacumlaude/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fblogs.agu.org%2Fmagmacumlaude%2F2008%2F04%2F15%2Ftechnically-theyre-bison%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="comment-550"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://www.blogger.com/profile/15422791444429372896" rel="nofollow"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/9c8d037e5b9fb3b901df4cad8b6aabc4?s=50&d=mm&r=g" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/9c8d037e5b9fb3b901df4cad8b6aabc4?s=100&d=mm&r=g 2x" class="avatar avatar-50 photo" height="50" width="50"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://www.blogger.com/profile/15422791444429372896" rel="nofollow">Callan Bentley</a> said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://blogs.agu.org/magmacumlaude/2008/04/15/technically-theyre-bison/#comment-550"><span class="time-since">15 April 2008</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>Congrats, Tuff!</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-login" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://blogs.agu.org/magmacumlaude/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fblogs.agu.org%2Fmagmacumlaude%2F2008%2F04%2F15%2Ftechnically-theyre-bison%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="comment-549"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://www.blogger.com/profile/07738706550175991130" rel="nofollow"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/41dc3e007986c35dc46763689fa93174?s=50&d=mm&r=g" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/41dc3e007986c35dc46763689fa93174?s=100&d=mm&r=g 2x" class="avatar avatar-50 photo" height="50" width="50"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://www.blogger.com/profile/07738706550175991130" rel="nofollow">Kim</a> said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170504030814/http://blogs.agu.org/magmacumlaude/2008/04/15/technically-theyre-bison/#comment-549"><span class="time-since">15 April 2008</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>You’ve read the discussion about “thanks but I’m not coming” letters at Female Science Professor’s blog, haven’t you?

I hadn’t thought about doing an off-campus advisor, but I feel like the masters work will end up being too short for that kind of thing.
