"One year in the context of a whole life or career - it just doesn't matter. No one will think less of you or devalue your Harvard Ph.D. because you took some time to find yourself."
"All this stuff about 'oh, you've got to do it this way,' or 'this is the path you have to follow'...it's all crap. All of it. There's no right way. You've just got to follow your heart. Things just tend not to work out when you don't."
"Shoot me an e-mail when you get there and sort out what you're doing. It'll be fun to keep up with your life as you figure it all out. You're young - I have to live vicariously through you. Us old guys, we don't have time to have fun anymore..."
I'd say that my meeting with the admin folks in the Division of Medical Sciences went pretty well.
Almost official!
