Road Trip

So tomorrow morning I'm heading to Ithaca for a grad student workshop on im/migration studies. We're all presenting works-in-progress in panel format with different professors as discussants. I'm really looking forward to it; a chance to run some ideas by a group of people interested in the same topics. According to the schedule, I got the very last slot of the day... 4:30 p.m. on a Friday... I told a friend I'm going to have to borrow an outfit from Lady Gaga just to keep people awake...

I'll be driving up alone, staying with friends in Trumansburg, then driving back home on Saturday. Two nights away from the little one. I'm a little nervous about what it's going to do to her sleep patterns but since my entire advisory committee is involved in this event it seemed like a good idea to go.
