Finally registered for the SPSP conference. It will be my first conference and I’m very excited; I can’t wait to see my old professors and my friends from various other universities. I have a hard time going up to people and making friends on my own, so hopefully my colleagues will introduce me to others.

It turns out that Tampa is also hosting a pirate convention or something that same weekend, which is most unfortunate. But I guess as long as most people at the conference refrain from pirate-speak I’ll be fine.

It looks like the lodging at the convention center is already booked, so I’ll have to find something else. This may be a good thing, since it will probably be cheaper. I just hope I can get something that’s not too far away, that way I can walk (I plan on wearing heels and would prefer not to have to bring a pair of shoes to walk, as I don’t want to have to carry an extra pair all over the conference).

I should probably get to bed now though.
