As of today, I am officially liberated of my responsibilities to the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Not that I actually had many responsibilities there to begin with, but…still, now my fellowship is over, and so is my association with them. I have to say, I cannot in good faith recommend the university, or at least the Psychology Department, to anyone. They are a greedy, unfriendly lot of really selfish people, in my humble opinion.

But, I am not sorry I went there – I liked my supervisor very much, and the fellowship gave me a lot of flexibility to figure out where I wanted to go next. Also, it allowed Craig and me to live together – my other post-doc possibilities would’ve involved us living apart for 2-3 years, seeing each other *maybe* once a month. I’m not sure we would’ve even survived that, but even if we had, I wouldn’t have a precious baby girl and a boy on the way right now.

So, in the end, I am grateful for the opportunitites that were afforded to me by having the fellowship from the National Institutes of Health. I didn’t get as much out of it as I might have, due to going to UAB, but it was still, in the end, a positive experience. Now, onward…
