Today is the big day. In other words, off to N.O. for the AAA!! Panel is done tomorrow around 4pm, and then time for awesome food, music, and well free time. At some point, I suppose I will actually attend the conference that I paid a ridiculous amount of money to go to (just talking about fees here, if you include airfare, food, hotels...actually I don't want to think about it).
But isn't the point of the AAA that students are supposed to mingle and make professional connections? Well yeah, but I know I told you about the time that some grad student tried to talk to Maurice Bloch....
I will just take lots of pictures, especially of the sunshine. B/c down South they have this thing called "the sun." It is really hard to see up here in the tundra, especially when it is dark at 4pm.
Mostly I am happy to be finished with grants, turned in the last one yesterday! And to not be teaching for a few days, or worrying about school. Though of course, when I get back I will have tons of catching up to do. Like transcribing 2 hours of interviews!
