So I haven’t posted anything here in a while…I’m not sure why. I guess I just haven’t been compelled to write anything lately. I know some have wondered if I’m still alive and kicking, so I want to assure you all that, in fact, I am.
Life has been ebbing and flowing much lately, to the tune of “Wow! I can’t believe I’m so busy!” and “Ladeedah, I’ve nothing to do…“. It’s in the moments of high stress that I find myself wasting away, seemingly millions of things to do all at once. Then the next day I’ll be free as a pancake(?), waiting for the next project to pop up. I guess it’s alright though…better to be sporadically busy than busy all the time, right?
I’ll leave you with a happy story. I’ve been thinking about going to this Academic/Professional Conference, Designing the User Experience or DUX2005. It’s in San Francisco in the first week of November. I talked to the sister, who goes to the Berk about staying with her. She happily agreed, yay! So then last Thursday I decided to book my flight for the conference because I found a great deal on Southwest. Ok, so 2 steps out of the way:
Take care of lodging (free!)Book flight (~$200)- Register for conference ($400)
All that was left was registration. I went to the website Monday morning to notice…
HOLY SHIT!
The conference is sold out! (For lack of better words:)Craaaap! Quickly, I shot an email to the Student Volunteer Coordinator (I had applied to be an SV a few months back, but they were out of spots) to see if she could point me out to someone who would be able to help me be able to register. Miraculously, she found an SV spot for me, acknowledging that she enjoyed something I had written in my Student Volunteer application. So I’m going to DUX! I’m super psyched!
I’ll do like Erik…if you would like me to send a postcard from SF, email me your address and you’ll get one. jevnin AT gmail DOT com 🙂
