Conferences!

The next step in my continuing journey toward acquisition of skillsets that most people have learned by now; how to meet people and network at conferences.

it's nice to finally be in a position where I'm socially confident enough to that, and to be enthusiastic about it. I wan't once. But I do have to both acquire the skills to do so easily and smoothly, and find work-arounds for my facial recognition deficit. Business cards and written notes on them are a big help.

Madison was a great experience, and AAG has been pretty spiffy so far, too. I'll write more when I have time again. For now, I'm going to email a couple people, get some dinner, figure out what sessions I'm seeing tomorrow (apart from my own presentation of course!), and try and get a little school work done. My semester is ending in a couple weeks and it feels very weird to not be paying much attention to my term projects. I feel like a stereotypical slacking senior. Except my slacking consists of professional career development work....

I'm so tired today. I'm glad I slept in this morning even though I missed the first time slot of panels. I was having a hard time staying awake at times as it was.
