I'd completely forgotten about this blog, as evident by the 5 year gap in posts.
But since this is linked to a roommate request service for a conference - my first ever! - I figure I may as well update it so as to give some resemblance as to who I am.
Kinda.
At this moment, the conference is in a month and 12 days. I'm presenting the first day at around 12:15pm and I'm only slightly stressed out. Okay, a lot. My main stress factor is whether or not I'll be able to connect my phone to whatever tech they have so I can have my visual aids instead of printing out a bunch of handouts and crap. Just because reliability decreases with the more cables that are connected together, haha.
But my first conference during my first year of grad school. Really excited, but also kinda terrified because I worry about everything.
I never realized how expensive conferences are, at every step of the way. Hopefully I can find at least one roommate to split costs with. Hopefully we don't end up hating each other. I don't really see how that'd happen, but it's a fear, nonetheless.
I hope by this time next year, I'll have at least two more papers I feel comfortable presenting on - American Gods and one about the Whedonverse. Maybe one about Skyrim, since that's what I've been pouring all my waking hours into since I turned in my last paper (aside from the 3 times I've seen The Force Awakens, naturally).
