I promise that I'll eventually post about my conference and vacation. However, I found out that in the next month I have to present at Journal Club (this is the kind where you research and present the paper-- not lead a discussion), give a lecture in Advisor's class (I actually volunteered for this-- it makes sense, I promise), and have a Committee Meeting. Plus, I got some rather unsettling news at Major European Conference that's requiring me to work extra hard.
So, I'll post when breathing gets easier.
