"On behalf of the SFB Program Committee, we are pleased to inform you that your abstract has been accepted for a poster presentation". Yaaay, Seattle, here I come!!
I'm even more excited because one of my friends is also going to the conference so I have a buddy to room with! :-) And one more state off my list of states to visit (maybe even 2 more depending on where I change flights)! Seattle looks like a really interesting city -- I hope I can go see some of the sites, like the Space Needle, while I'm there. Monty is a big fan of seeing the city when you go to conferences so I'm sure he won't object. Plus the conference is from April 21-24 and the 24 is a Saturday so perhaps I can stick around an extra day :-D
I'm presenting during 2 poster sessions so I'll have a lot of time to see other posters and speak with other presenters. The conference I went to in July had some excursions planned during the off-times so maybe I can sign up for some of those type of things at this conference (assuming they offer little side-adventures). It is also particularly nice for me to have a hard deadline for myself; now I have definite time points to work towards which always seems to work well as a motivating factor for me. Oh, now you need to have some data to present in front of the major biomaterials players in the whole country... so GET TO WORK! Not that I need motivation to work on things I'm interested in, it's just nice to put a bit of pressure on.
In other news: still working on my review paper but it's getting closer and closer to the light at the end of tunnel, surprisingly enjoying doing all the statics homework required by TAs (it's a good refresher), excited about the lab course I'm taking, and of course, spending time with my wonderful and loving husband (of more than 7 months!)
