Yeup. The journey is about to start. Its 12:35 AM, and I have a 5 am departure from Inyokern. Classic Shoffnerism. I blame it on the moving, though. I had two days to move into my new place, which I almost accomplished. I have a little bit next weekend to finish with cleaning and etc.
So tomorrow (or 3 hours from now) I get going from Inyokern to LAX to San Antonio for SEG (Society of Exploration Geophysicists). Sunday night is the Ice breaker, where I will tour the conference floor and visit with all the industry people and drink their free beer or wine. Its usually a lot of fun, and the kids that you know from the other geophysical schools are usually around to hang out with too. Monday morning is the opening ceremonies and the afternoon is the start of the sessions. The first afternoon is the Mining and Geothermal session, which I am pretty excited to goto and see what they have going on. From there... I need to write down my schedule, because there are a lot of talks that I want to attend.
Anyway. I really need to get to sleep.
OH YEAH!
The reason I have this blog is to follow my travels over the next month or so. San Antonio is the first week, then off to Denver for the second week to defend my Master's, then off to Prague for three(ish) weeks to go visit Cam for her birthday and for my first real vacation since I started my college career in Fall 2004. Seven years. Whooohoo! Then I come back and head down to San Diego for another conference. And then I will probably be back to Denver to present some work for another conference. Aaannnddd THhhheeennnnn, I get to start field work! Yay!
Ok, bed time.
Until next time folks!
yay! have fun on the road! can't wait for you to get here :)
