i'm 32 flavors and then some
note - i just post sunday's entry (with yesterday's date) and this is yesterday's entry (with today's date) la la la
this is the officially on of the most ridiculous places to have a conference. san diego is beautiful in its own right. the hotel/resort we are staying at is ridiculous. first. there are roses everywhere. it is a sprawling hotel campus. this many different building of room. there are roses and flowers and plants everyone. of course, palm trees. i walk between building to see a speaker and walk through rose gardens. crazy. beautiful. not to mention we are like a 100 yards from the mall in san diego. out door. any and every shop you can think of. a cinnabon. dude.
though no good place to run. i wond my way through the area a bit for my run. i wanted to run 40-45 minutes, but i kinda ran out of place to go at 35 mins. oh well, i'll make that left instead of right the next time. it is the perfect running weather. though chicago has also had great running weather lately.
here's the debate. the pool. they have a couple of them. at lunch i saw the girl laying out. i wouldn't have even thought that she was at the conference, except that she was reading a technical paper. yeah. i want to lay out, but do not want to run into people from the conference, much less my advisor. dude. the hotel is large, but there is quite the few people at the conference. i think i could get away with laying out after the afternoon seesions (~5), but lunch is just pressing it, but maybe toward the end of the week when the advisor is gonza, we'll chance. i love the sun. what can i saw.
i'm trying to gather the motivation to do the work i have to do. it is hard. sitting in talks all day is draining. they are easy days (and short) esp compared with my days the past couple of monthes. but they are more tedious. by far far far.
