Well, I will certainly find happiness in working a job that's actually 40 hours/week, instead of the 50-60 I've been working lately...

I'm already happy with my decision, frankly. Have a feeling of relief just from having broken the news to my boss and gotten things started a bit. The end is in sight, even if it's still a few months off.

Plus, I'm sure whatever new job I manage to find will pay better than a grad school stipend, and so then I'll have less financial stress too. So, I feel like it's been a good decision all around. :)
