The last few days have been really hectic. Yesterday was simply brutal--I spent from 8am to 5:30 pm listening to very dense, technical scientific talks with only two ten minute breaks, and a brief lunch. I had to pay attention the entire freaking time, and my brain was just fried by the end. After I got done, I had a 4 hour drive back home, and then I basically collapsed into bed shortly after. I didn't wake up until shortly before 10 this morning.

I will return to my regular blogging later this evening.
