My students are turning in lab reports later today. That means…I’ll have to read them all, critically. Imagine how much fun I’m going to have tomorrow! No, don’t, I don’t want you to start crying.
And I just realized that I haven’t even started preparing my talk for Skepticon, and I’ll be there in lovely Springfield, Missouri at this time next week.. Wait, no, I always wait until the last minute to throw that together, so no problem. I’ll just do it on the flight.
No! Hey! I don’t have to give a talk at all this year — I’ll probably finish that Ann Leckie novel on the flight. And then I’ll just relax with the happy enthusiastic people attending the conference, and I’ll be one of them! I expect to see you there, and we’ll spend long days and late nights talking pleasantly together. And I’ll have all the lab reports graded, and we can heal all the scars together.
Has it snowed on you yet? First snow hit here this morning.
No! What happens in the Dakotas is usually our early warning system: that means it’s on the way.

PZ:
It was a light snow, mostly melted off, but the air is still frigid. Our weather people have been saying no chance of snow (and supposedly, no chance this coming week), but it snowed anyway. With luck, it might stay away a while yet.
The snow ate their lab reports.
PZ, the Skepticon site doesn’t seem to have your talk listed.
I want to make sure not to miss it.

Cicely, PZ is not having a talk at this Skepticon, since they have only all-new speakers. That was what he was referring to with “No! Hey! I don’t have to give a talk at all this year”.
Hope all those going to Skepticon have a great time. I greatly enjoyed it last year, and hope to make it again next year.
Ah.
*derp-face*
Next time, I must read the whole post, instead of panicking straight-off.
Thanks!
