Insanity!!!

[jebbypal]

Well, I just received the program for my grad group retreat that I have to go to in november (also known as three days of pain situated directly in front of the thanksgiving holiday). Looks like it's to be a 20-25 minute talk, which I should be able to do easily since that is three weeks after my committee meeting. However, here's the insane part --- they've scheduled talks and stuff both friday and saturday night until 10 pm. Give me a frigging break. Okay, fine, saturday is the only full day and they give us 3 hours off to "explore bumfuck PA", but still. That's just insane. And then on saturday, we're supposed to stay up another two hours for a party. Frell off people, I'll be in bed! The last thing I want to see is professors and postdocs getting it on at that time of night. Talk about nightmares and therapy.

Ugghh...this is going to be sooooo painful. Might have to dig out some type of flask to take beer in. Definitely renting a car. Hmmm...may even go ahead and see how much one of those alpha smarts you guys talk about costs...at least then people couldn't read what I'm typing, right?
