Who knew, right? It was very surreal to watch all the people I'd seen giving talks and schemed to introduce myself to drinking and dancing and having fun on Friday night. Great end to a good conference.
I had a really good time at the conference, especially enjoyed not being in PA during the nasty snowstorm (!) that hit last week. Bizarrely early in the year for that kind of weather, though. When I get a few minutes, I'll list off a few of my favorite talks from the week and give a better summary of my impressions and what I learned. Right now, though, it's time to start playing catchup for the classes I missed while I was gone. :)

October? What?
I finished my poster today. Despite the weeks of panicking over doing one certain analysis (which it turns out I didn't do or even need to do for this poster) and procrastinating to the best of my extensive abilities, it's done. All I have to do is get it printed tomorrow or Wednesday. Hooray!
I've also been invited to another talk in December... we'll see. I might talk to Advisor about taking one of my labmates... I feel like I'm being favored and as much as I like it, it isn't fair to let my labmate wallow in misery while I go jetting off to all sorts of places she'd like to be. Though she may shun this one because it's funded by people she doesn't particularly care for. We'll see.
Classes are going better than I have any right to expect them to, but my apartment has taken the hit for that. I'm behind on all of my chores and trying to get ready to leave for a week on Friday. hoo, boy. This is also not helped by my forementioned Procrastination Skills (yes, they are good enough to deserve capital letters. Maybe that's a bad thing...)
In science news... yeah, I've got nothing. Sorry 'bout that. How about this: the biennial conference of the Society for Marine Mammology meets next week in Quebec City, Canada. If you want to see the biggest and best collection of Action Nerds (Moore, C. 2003. Fluke; or, I know why the winged whale sings) on the planet, be there!
