the air

Now that I am back from Nashville, I can confidently say that I am thrilled to be home and not have the burden of driving for over seven hours. The IERC2007 conference was actually pretty interesting and informative. For the most part, the conference was geared towards academia and professionals. My poster presentation went well and I was encouraged by a few professors at Virgina Tech, Texas Tech, and Penn State to go ahead and take the GRE’s and apply to their respective grad school programs. Looks like my plans will be changing a little bit for the summer.

I was unable to take any photos since I forgot to pack my digital camera. However, in hindsight, there weren’t many “Kodak” moments. My professor did take a picture with me next to my poster presentation so hopefully she can hook me up with a copy of it.

New MacBook

I also went out and bought myself a new MacBook. Although this is not a very feature-laden laptop, it is both gorgeous and perfect for my needs. The only gripe I really have is the fact that it lacks a DVD burner. However, it really is not a major concern since this laptop is mostly for work and not recreational use. I have to admit that I am really surprised by what I have been missing out on by not using Mac OS X sooner.
