I'm still here, I swear! |

So for the past two years I've been on the executive committee for a large annual law and religion symposium. This year's iteration took place over the past week or so, and has consumed my life. We worked the symposium from 7 in the morning to 11 at night (reinforcing my determination to never work 70-80 hour weeks), and I only saw my wife and daughter in the middle of the night, when they were either asleep or mostly asleep.
It was worth it, though. We managed 65 delegates from 40 countries across three days of conference presentations. We collected papers, powerpoints, and outlines, juggled international travel plans, handled every minor crisis that came our way, transported and fed the delegates and all of the other guests (200+ people), coordinated local sightseeing, helped dozens of US-newbies get souvenirs, and sent everyone safely off on their merry little way. It was a good experience and will make a great talking point on my resume, but I am glad to have it (and those ghastly 12-passenger vans) in my rear-view mirror.
And now the grind of focusing on school begins anew.
