We've arrived. The drive was relatively uneventful. The boys saved me from having to navigate. Ever since the anxiety talk that the major prof gave me last month, I've been getting a potective vibe from the boys. However, since I didn't navigate, it took us an extra hour to reach the hotel because major prof was trying to go by memory instead of by the map... but that is another story.
Check the time stamp... yes, it is very late at night or very early in the morning, however you choose to look at it... the boys are talking shop in my room. We haven't seen one of our lab mates in over a month because he has been doing a practicum in Industry. Our conference obligations don't start until tomorrow evening so no one is really settling down for bed yet.
I am nervous about this conference. I have no reason to be nervous about this conference, my only responsibility for this week is to absorb as much information as I can. All of the boys have presentations to give, my project isn't yielding reasonable data so I have nothing to present. I don't know how much I am going to absorb. I still feel like I don't know enough about the research I am doing... I need to get over my nervousness. I am still new at this whole conference thing, this is only my second conference. Part of my nervousness is due to the fact that this is our biggest conferences of the year, the next week will be spent addressing our research topic of interest. The boys are all very excited... so many new ideas and new approaches to learn...
Okay, I'm exhausted. It turns out the the hotel has (very slow) wireless internet access, I'll try to update often... Send me well wishes. And ladies, please feel free to contact me, I will be surround by high levels of testosterone for the next week.

OK, so if the boys were talking shop in your room, were you blogging in this same room? If so, does this mean you were blogging in front of colleagues? Do they know you have a blog?
Maybe you'll meet some cool people at the conference.
Yes, I was blogging in the same room as the boys while they were talking shop but only grant is aware that I keep a blog. He and I are friends before we are colleagues. The other boys are not aware that I keep a blog.
I hope I meet some cool people here. We are off to explore the town now as the conference doesn't start until tonight.
