Woo I got put on coding project with one of my favourite profs for the summer!

He did explain that I'll be getting less money because he didn't have enough from the regular funding source (as he had to spread it around) and figured that that would be fine since I already have summer funding from my fellowship, so this is augmenting what I already have.  And that, because of that, I'm not expected to work the full 12 weeks, 20 hours a week.  I calculated, and I could either do 9 weeks for 20 hours or I could do 12 weeks for 15 hours, depending on if he would rather have me on for the full term.  But either one of those would work given the amount that I would be getting in comparison to everyone else.  Which I am more than okay with.

Hopefully with the extra cash I can actually go out and get the car I so desperately need.  Seriously.

But still it was nice to be offered that position even though I have funding already.  When I said I didn't think I would be offered anything, I was told that he wanted people he could trust on this project and people he knew would be serious about it and who would do well on it and everything, and that he knew I would do fine since I'm a great student all around.  That really was nice to hear.  Especially with how I've been feeling lately at the end of this semester with one professor giving me shit over a paper for what I believe is mostly a personal vendetta, and another class paper which I am blanking on and now am going to be doing a qualitative case study analysis despite wanting to do something more qualitative.  Sob.  Maybe I can do quantitative stuff (sort of) within the qualitative analysis, I don't know.

I might need to ask for one more day on this, but I really don't want to.  Maybe if I can actually focus I can bang this thing out between today and tomorrow.  It wouldn't be the first time I wrote an entire paper over the course of two days.
