Time to move on again
Feeling really quite down at the moment since I found out there isn't any money to keep me on in the lab once my PhD funding runs out. I think this has got to me quite a bit as after a big slump I've finally sorted out things and got stuff running really well and am finally motivated to get finished. I get on so well with my supervisor, I really can't imagine working with anyone nicer. I feel like I've achieved loads in the 3 years I've worked with him and I know that if I stayed and worked with him I'd be able to achieve even more. The lack of funding also seems like a bit of a personal insult. I've worked so hard so far and it feels a bit like my work isn't good enough to continue with even though I know my stuff is actually very good. Unfortunately it seems like most funding goes to crappy arrogant labs rather than lovely sweeties like my supervisor.
It's a bit of a bummer as well as after 2 1/2 years I'm finally feeling quite settled in the city and feel like it's my home. I don't really want to up sticks and move across the country and have everything totally new again. I also feel a bit strange as I have to take the boyfriend into consideration. He's really settled in the city as well and I don't know if we'll both move somewhere knew together, have a distance relationship or split up. Everything seems so up in the air just at a time when I had got used to stuff.

It is a bummer to have the rug pulled from under you like that, especially when there's nothing you've done to make it happen. But nothing stays the same forever, and with the prospect of change, you do get to see how far you've come and what's important to you right now.
I've always found that making lists of good and bad factors and giving each factor a value out of ten is a good way to think through what's really important when there's a choice between options and there is no stand out favourite.
