Hey y'all. Just checking in. Looks like the two weeks I predicted will include one additional week. Almost done with a benchmark in my project. And of course I'll share it, Tifaria. I can't imagine working so long on something without sharing it!
Oh yeah, I thought of many things to talk about. But for now I'm keeping my posts to this. I have lurked a little.
Conference, Tifaria?
Sweet, I'm curious to see this mysterious project!
I went to a museum conference in South Dakota! I'm studying museum science in grad school right now, so it was totally applicable. Plus, I got excused from a week of class if I went. I don't even have to make up any work. 6 of the 11 students in my class went, plus most of the faculty. I met some awesome people, got to see some cool sites, and... didn't necessarily learn just a whole lot, but it was still fun. Turns out museum people really like to party late at night. I guess maybe it's because so many of their jobs are really boring, they have to unwind somehow!
Alas, upon my returning home, my grandmother went into the hospital. She's got the scary medical C-word, but her doctors think they caught it early. She goes in for surgery Thursday, and my family and I are trying to be optimistic about it. I probably won't be around much so that I can spend time at the hospital with her and help my family out after her operation. If y'all don't mind thinking a little happy thought for her, it'd be much appreciated. She's the only grandmother I have, and we're very close, so I'm pretty freaked out right now.
