While I was in Florida there were some goings-on in Ohio
I went to Florida with the Fraser family this weekend to attend Lindsay's Uncle Bill's wedding. I had a lot of fun and finally got to meet her "Munga" (grandma) who lives in Florida. It was a nice wedding. The ceremony took place at the Vinoy in St. Petersburg.
Back north in Ohio at about the same time a paper that I wrote about information warfare (abstract 3343) was being presented at the Information Systems Education Conference. I wrote this paper last spring and at the professor's request I gave permission for have it submitted for publication. Originally the conference was to be held in New Orleans, but that didn't work out for obvious reasons. I wasn't able to attend but the professor who submitted my paper was kind enough to present my paper in my absence.
When I arrived home last night (around midnight) I immediately finished some homework and went straight to bed, forgetting about the conference completely. However, when I arrived to my first class today my professor (who also attended the conference) congratulated me on my award. I didn't find out until my 1:00 class that my paper was awarded best student paper at the conference. I was shocked, to say the least. Somehow, class wasn't as hard to get though as I had anticipated, but I am running on "E" from all of the here and there associated with my trip this weekend. Luckily tomorrow is a "professional development" day which means that my class will not be held. I'll still have to show up for work in the computer lab, but then again I can't really call the computer lab "work".
Things seemed pretty dire when I got home so late last night, but they're looking up now. As always I apologize that I've been so long since posting. I have considerably less free time this year than I have had in years past. I'm considering leaving a job. By considering, I really mean counting the days pending some miracle. Anyhow more to come soon including a birthday list which I realize I am procrastinating on. Love ya all and I look forward to seeing everyone soon.
