Yes, I'm alive and I survived sleeping in a dorm room and eating dining commons food for a week. The conference was a lot of fun, but it was also an extremely intensive learning experience. I met a lot of really nice people who taught me a lot about electrophysiology, something I know next to nil about. But, there were a couple of talks that were extremely interesting and comprehensible. Maybe people to work with, maybe not, depending on whether I'm going to stay in academia or not. The last night of the conference, we had a lobster bake, which was really cool! I ate my first lobster out of a shell... I must admit that the lobster, while dead, did scare me once when I caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye... yes, how pathetic!
-me and the lobster
-the chef & the lobsters
After the conference, it was a whirl-wind trip home and then right back here. Being at home, rushing around, was no vacation at all, so I'm now exhausted and wishing I could sleep all day! But in other cool news, while I was gone, Joe booked us on a cruise in the western Mediterranean! how cool! The first week of October can not come soon enough!
