ordered chaos
Dec. 24th, 2002 11:18 amGood News!
My very first ever non-grad school real professional conference proposal was accepted.
This means I get to go to Dallas in February. This means speaking as a professional. This means people actually think I know what I'm doing. This alone baffles me.
I'm looking forward to having tomorrow off. I appreciate my lack of "family" obligations at this time of year. I have family-by-choice who I'll spend this evening with, and New Years Eve with...but even throughout the rest of the year, I have few annual family obligations. Thanksgiving...that's about it. If I can, I do Rosh Hashannah/Yom Kippur/Passover or some combination of the above with my parents. If they fall midweek, I don't. This means I see my parents when I want to...not because I have to, or around some other occassion. I spend time up there because we choose to do things together.
Tomorrow will be a day to do things-make a couple of phone calls, find a hotel for Philly next month, when I go for Dad's appointment at the hospital, reparing my dress for NYE, trying to find the boots I want to wear.
And this hundred things meme....I'm not sure I could think of a hundred things you would want to know about me...maybe that's a good project for tomorrow.
I'm going to watch the Yule log for a while, bemoan not having seen my favorite Decemberish movie ("The Trouble with Angels") and enjoy my cats. Happy holiday to anyone who is observing a celebration.
