Vegas 09 -- Written Exams 4/1

Last week I traveled to Las Vegas NV, for a NSBE Convention and also presented at the American Association of Geographers (http://www.aag.org) conference. So for 7 days, I had to bare the heat and dry air. I had a good time though. It's always a great experience for me to be able to catch up with people i know and haven't seen or heard from in a while. I didn't spend much time at the AAG conference. I attended my chapter's party Wednesday night and Friday i presented on my research. It was a small audience but I am glad there were a few people there. The presentation itself was not very much technical content but I just wanted some feedback on my ideas.

The NSBE convention went well. I did the parliamentarian thing and made sure we got some folks elected into Regional Offices. But i am back in town and pretty tired. I have a lot of work to do in less then 36 hours to prepare for my written exam that didn't happen two weeks ago. I am probably going to do very minimal reading, i just want to clear my mind, be rested and relaxed come Wednesday April 1st. So i will go grocery shopping later to find me some brain food, and the cook up some meals so i can just pop them in the microwave. I set up a second office on campus so i can be isolated and surrounded by nothing but my books. But if i need a nap or to step out, I have a couch in my office right next door. So I am looking forward to Friday Night/Saturday morning to get past this milestone.

Exams on tuesday!

I finally wrote up a draft research proposal and submitted it to my committee on Friday the 13th. It clearly needs some more work but i needed to let them know what direction i was headed in with my research.

But now the exam is coming up. Today is Sunday...i have a 72 hour exam starting on tuesday. I have lots of books, papers, articles, resources ready to go. But i still haven't found a comfortable place to set up shop for this event. I am going to do some more reading for today and tomorrow and try and get as prepared as i can. Monday night...sleep well and Tuesday...get it crackin!
