It's good you found that something that you enjoy doing and you can end the day not drained from the days work. While I feel it is rewarding to help with social cases I can definitely see that it would be very emotionally draining as you have to remain objective in the manner and not make emotional or instantaneous decisions. I'm glad you like research! It's probably one of the most exciting things I have come across, being able to use progressive evidence in the design of new things and see what works and what doesn't and how to fix it in terms of policy sounds great. I've been alright, had a few heart issues that have been worked out and am currently off the good stuff because they think that it may be setting off minor chest pains that arise. I just got over the midterm hump before my reading week (spring break) which starts the 21st and am looking forward to a week off. You gotta let me know those highdeas.
