A week and a half before Keeley finished her dissertation research, she put in her two week notice at the lab explaining that she had some personal concerns that would be taking up her time. Dr. Kim was sorry to see her go since they had worked together for so long.
"I wish I could keep you on post-graduation," she admitted. "But I'm afraid that's not up to me. I'd be happy to provide you a letter of recommendation if you choose to go look elsewhere later on."
"Thanks, Dr. Kim," Keeley said gratefully. And that was the end of that. A clean ending.
She had been so tired lately that she kept falling asleep in class. It was affecting her grades, which was a huge no-no. It was at that point that Aaron convinced her to quit.
