I just bought my plane ticket for winter break, and I leave NYC on Dec 4, and then depart from KL on Jan 11! I felt teary when I confirmed my KL-NYC departure date. But I'm thankful that I can even be home for that period of time.
Life here has continued to go well. I saw Prof 2 at a talk today, and we actually had a short, friendly, non-awkward conversation. My chair was a discussant at the talk so we didn't chat because I had to run off to meet a few of my over-anxious students who wanted me to look at their papers.
I will also be going to Mexico next April for the annual American Comparative Literature Association conference!!! Very excited about that!
Ooh, Mexico!! How fun! Does the school cover expenses?
ReplyDeleteSmart of you to get your ticket NOW... good thinking... that reminds me... I should do that...
the school only gives $600 toward conference travel, and i'm using that toward my trip to malaysia. so i'll be paying for the mexico trip out of pocket, but oh well, it's worth it.:)
ReplyDeleteWhere? Tijuana?
