california here I come!

[moonwise]

Sent in the registration, paid my fee, gonna room with my labmate if we can't get singles.

Ordered the plane tix (surprisingly cheap! $300 to fly cross-country!)

GRC, here I come!

Note to self: bring WETSUIT. The Pacific is cold cold cold and I'm sure as hell going in. What's the use of seeing the ocean if you can't swim in it?

too bad my board and fins can't come in the suitcase... la la la la..

This is great news! You know what this means, don't you?

*whips out wish list*

Seriously... I hope you have a great time!

How about... POSTCARD? :)

I don't think we're going to be doing a lot of sightseeing, unfortunately. :P

Postcard? What the--A crummy postcard, that's all I get? Geez... *pouts*

Err.. Just kidding. A postcard would be very nice. :)

WhoohoO!

I haven't registered yet...gotta take care of that by Friday. And plane tix already? You're on top of this! We usually get ours last minute. Where'd you find them so cheap?

By the way... the CDs arrived yesterday... :D Thank you, Easter Bunny! (Bok! Bok!)

I'm still having CD burner problems. Urghhh...

We're flying Continental. It sometimes costs less if you don't wait too long. Also we're taking the red-eye back because we want some more time in CA (and there won't be too much out of us on the following Monday... *tired*)

Great! I'm glad the CD's got to you ok! Don't worry about burner problems, it's all good. :)

Go register! :) It takes no time at all by fax.

I should be all set once I get a credit card number to put on the application (I can either wait a day or two and get one from my advisor, or ask our tech now and she can get it for me by next week...heh), and then I will indeed fax it... we're usually running around at the last minute on these kinds of things in my lab, so I doubt we'll get our shit together on the plane tickets for another week or two. Everyone is very unorganized. My advisor will be speaking at the meeting, and she's not even registered yet! Those nutty academics...

Go get your shit together! (yeah, who am I to talk, the perenially disorganized one...) Seriously - I would have just skated along unless my labmates hadn't cornered me this afternoon. Just as well that they did!

Sooner is better than later on plane tix, in general; I think you pay more the closer it gets. Hopefully you'll get a good rate though!

Hehehe... I will likely be cornering my advisor and our post doc by the end of the week on the registration bit.

As for the plane tickets, since I'm not personally paying for them, the incentive to get my shit together soon isn't incredibly strong. I know that's quite irresponsible, but... *shrug* We'll get there. :)

And speaking of Tori...

Another quiz (this is my Tori song):

Sounds like you are all set to have a good time. Even if you don't get to do too much sight seeing at least you will be able to go for a nice swim! :)

Have a good time and be safe!
