Tomorrow I head to Orlando to present a paper I submitted to the SMTAI 2007 conference as part of my PhD work. I really enjoy these technical conferences for their networking purposes. I remember my first conference 4 years ago and being giddy at meeting many of the 'experts' and big names in my field. Now I'm excited to be considered a peer and worthy of having discussions with. It's nice to see my work used as a reference in other technical papers. Anyways, here's to presenting my last work as a graduate student! In some ways it makes me sad, but already I've seen where my professional career is going to be very rewarding and full of surprises. For example, did I mention I may be headed to Austria for a week before the end of the year?
Pray for Lynn as she will have some sicko boys to deal with while I'm gone for two days.
