Conference!

Quick update about the black hole of the jennieblog...I'm working all weekend helping to midwife the baby that I've been creating for over a year...a conference in celebration of 30+ years of the program that I work for. I probably won't have another opportunity to blog until Monday or Tues...we'll see.

It was amazing last night to see the approx 350 people at the opening keynote, and in particular to see so many people that I know (students, alumni, faculty, staff) and finally meet face to face with people that I've only previously communicated with by email or phone.

I expect that I'll crash when this whole thing is done b/c I'm working crazy hours (at work until 10 last night, back here at 7:30am, will be here tonight until 10, back again tomorrow at 7:30am...) and Monday is alpaca shearing day! I'm hopped up on adrenaline and WAY too much caffeine right now...babbeling...ok, must stop and just sit!
