And I am telling you, I'm not going.

Well, after great consideration and an official phone call made today... I turned down the Philly job to remain in DC. At the crux of my decision was if I would complete my program from another place. Knowing myself, I figured I'd start making excuses soon enough without my social network in place to keep me working towards it. I will still apply in the area if things come up, but for now I'm staying at GW.

It was a hard decision, but the right one.
