day 2

[trochee]

talk went pretty well yesterday. I'd stuck around for 45 minutes, waiting to see if Advisor was interested in chatting with me after my talk, but nothing happened, so I felt like I should find people to go have dinner with, since these conferences are all about networking.

Went out with friends from the old summer workshop (now three summers ago!) for dinner, and got into an awkward situation when Advisor called and wanted to take me out to dinner.

I miss Seattle, and imtboo. Vancouver is lovely, but I wish you were here with me, Boo.

Nevertheless, I'm doing well here; I feel like I understand a lot of what's here and I'm learning a lot from those that I don't get right away. I'll be glad when it's all done though.

[I must remember to tell a story about Advisor and Internship Leader. Don't have time now.]

So what's with this Advisor? 45 minutes seems plenty of hanging around time. How can she expect you to be hanging around longer waiting for her?

So glad it went well!!

Let us know when the video is posted. Not that I'll understand it -- but what a great opportunity to look at your body language and speaking style. Nerve wracking, yes! But very helpful.
