I had a realization today as I was cleaning out my lab space, labeling the last bits of my synthesized compound, soaking in my last moments in my research advisor's lab: i'm giving all of this up.

Perhaps not for forever, but at least definitely for now. and I'm not really sure how I feel about that yet.
