Busy week, but exciting nonetheless

So it's a crazy busy week. With the meetings of my summer research team on Mondays and Wednesdays, I basically get little done other than that project. A few little things in the morning, perhaps, but most of the day is taken up with that project. Tuesday should be a good workday, but there's a lot to get done in that time period. Thursday, I leave for ICA. I always plan to get a lot done on the plane, but I'm never as productive as I hope to be. My favorite part of trying to be productive on these trips is when the jerk in front of me leans his/her chair back as far as possible, which prevents me from having my laptop open far enough to see the entire screen. I then spend the rest of the flight kneeing the chair and alternating pressure on it, hoping to significantly disturb his/her sleep. I long for the day someone says something about it to me. I've practiced my retort for many years now.

However, despite that, I am truly pumped about ICA. I'm really looking forward to the break.
