Well ladies (and gentleman), I took the job. It ended up being a slight paycut and I'm going to have to figure out how to pay for my masters. But this job was just too good of an oppurtunity to pass up. I'm not giving my two weeks notice until I get back from India in the begining of March. I just have to keep my mouth shut for the next week until I leave. I'm so excited about this new venture, but also a little sad to leave my old job. The people there are just so great, its the only reason I've stayed in the job as long as I have. But sometimes you need to go it alone, so it's time for me to leave.
Thank you all again for all your support and advice!

It's definitely been really hard to stay quiet. But I've had so many other things to keep my mind occupied, like my upcoming month long trip to India. The hard part is, I'm going there with three of my best friends who I also work with. I completely trust them, but I don't want to take the risk and tell anyone. Maybe I'll tell them when we get on the plane to leave, and there is no way they'll be able to say anything to anyone. I'm so pysched about everything that's happening right now, stressed, but psyched!
