Oh yea, that is clearly a better opportunity. I would have made the same decision as you have. Congrats! I hope I can get a future with the boren award but so far it seems like boren awardees don’t have anything but the experience and the scholarship to back them up once you have to serve your 1 year. And that will most likely be as some entry position pushing papers and not a position that is located within the region of language study. I hope I am wrong though.
