So, Eric and I spoke last night about the job at Penn. Basically, it would be stupid for me to take it. It's two and a half hours of commuting every day, and on top of that, I would actually have to leave my MWF morning class early just to catch the train--obviously not a good solution.

I called the recruiter this morning, feeling like an idiot, and explained the situation. She asked me if we could just change the hours around so that I went in later, and I said that wouldn't be a good solution--for one thing, I would still have the two and a half hours of commuting every day, and for another, my schedule is bound to change next semester, or even next year. She said they would probably be flexible with my school schedule... okay. I told her, realistically, the only days it would be feasible for me to come in would be Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I could work all day (though I would have to leave at 4:30PM to catch the train back home and get to my 6:00 class). She said she would bring it up with Penn, and see what they say.

Sigh... *fingers crossed*
