hey Petrarch, thanks![]()
hehehe, yeah well, my freedom won't last for long, coz I gotta get started on studying for the exams (they start in August, but it's recommended to study for half a year to a whole year). but tell you what, I've been looking forward to that because I still prefer studying and reading stuff to writing and doing research myself... so it's OK

but before I start studying, my hubby and me are going to England for a week (Feb. 15-21).![]()
Hey Sleepy - Congrats on finishing and turning in your thesis! That's great! And I hope you have a great vacation in England - that's a good way to reward yourself and take a break.
As for me - I'm happy cause I just found out I'll be presenting at a conference in April. I feel good about it because last year I went to the same conference on a panel formed by my professor. This year, my paper got accepted just on my own.It's not a super-competitive conference, but it's still nice to get the acceptance letter. Too bad it's in Macomb, Illiniois.
