Glad to know I'm not the only one! PS - fully agree with all of the above re: May 2008.

I am pretty proud of the research, especially since I don't work in academia. The last few conferences have been in Mexico City, Vienna and Thailand. This year's is in DC in July. Yay? At least I can take the train and stay with relatives for most of it. @MuffyStJohn redheaded&crazy: Thanks, y’all. I am pretty proud of the research, especially since I don’t work in academia.

I think I'm too driven professionally to balk at an opportunity like that. Plus, my mommy taught me that student loan debt is the best kind of debt, and I should never fear it. @RocketSurgeon Congrats to you!!

Just this weekend, I plunked down $1,000 on registration for the biggest international conference in my field. Two of my abstracts were accepted, and I've spent 4 years on the project. I considered letting someone else who was already going present my work so I could save the money, but knew I'd hate not doing it myself.
