Yes, the last one for this job. Four more days to go! \o/

Got an email from E a few days ago, about a translation symposium happening next week. Sounds really cool, but I didn't know if I'd be able to afford it, and then tonight I actually looked at the page, and a;lsj it requires a fucking cover letter, CV, and translation of a sample. I. I ( Read more... )

OKAY SO I AM KIND OF A STUPIDHEAD.

And there was a paper I was going to write for the conference I went to in Canberra, and it was uh. Due at midnight. ....I started it this morning. ¬¬;; It took um. About four hours? Probably a bit less. According to my iChat, I started at 10:40, and I was done by 3:40, and at least an hour of that was me ( Read more... )

Did presentation this morning! I think it went well! :D Got back to the airport afterwards pretty easily, too, and then a bumpy flight home ( Read more... )

Much cooler stuff today! Got some linguistics and social change, and there was a thing about language learning, and migrants, and language learning, and heaps of stuff! :D

Have my presentation prep done! Powerpoint took... Iono, an hour and a half tonight, including finding a few pictures? So that's not too bad. Haven't actually practiced it ( Read more... )

Today's been pretty good. A lot of the talks this morning were kind of uh. Boring, for me, because they went riiiiiight over the top of my head (for the record, I know nothing about economics, finance, music theory, or Japanese politics. If you assume I do, I will not understand what the fuck you're talking about. The entirety of what I got ( Read more... )

Made it safely to Canberra. Was... disturbingly easy. No one's asked for my ID all day. Not even on the plane! I. What is this even ( Read more... )

So! I. Yeah. I got SOME prep done, but not much at ALL, and slideshow? Ahahaha not even started. Sooo looks like my free time when away will be prep! All the time! ¬¬;; This is so going to end well, oh wait ( Read more... )

Did get a rough timeline/outline of conference talk done, so that's a thing. Am going in to Uni with Sibling tomorrow - I am requested for, well, basically hand-holding, but also listening, because if we get The Woman Who Always Says No you really do need to have at least two people's worth of HEY WAIT NO WHY CAN'T I-, because seriously that woman ( Read more... )

So I am an even bigger moron than I thought. Today I noticed that I booked my flight to the conference on the wrong day. And a day late, not a day early, so I have to change it for sure, and fuck I'm so screwed. They're gonna charge me a fortune. ;___ ( Read more... )

I really did. 'Cause, you know, got my thesis in! And my app!

But it's not.

Sometime last night - I don't know when, I was woken up by the yelling - Sibling had a breakdown. Serious, serious breakdown. ( Trigger warning: suicide )
