Last weekend was the Florida Education Association Delegate Assembly. Tomorrow starts the Social Science History Association annual meeting. Two weeks from tomorrow? History of Education Society meeting.
The Good
- They’re all in Florida; FEA DA was downtown Tampa, and HES will be downtown St Pete. (SSHA is in Miami.)
- I finished the papers for SSHA and HES, and while I am not particularly proud of the timing, the dates I e-mailed them to discussants wasn’t this week, either.
- I’ve found the GPS device I will need to find the hotel tomorrow in Miami, akin to packing medications, shampoo, and brain.
- I found Dirty Laundry tonight in time to make it Clean Laundry.
- I’ve loaded up the iPod with Stuff to Hear along I-75.
- I’ve caught up with grading in my undergraduate class.
- I will get to watch two of the World Series games (on TV) while in Miami.
- My hotel is a few blocks away from the conference hotel (which was full), is cheaper, and has no-added-cost wifi.
- I won one of the World Series games 1-2 lottery slots, and I decided not to buy two tickets to Game 1 (for $100+ per ticket).
…
The Bad
- The Rays lost, 3-2.
- While SSHA is in-state, it’s in Miami, 5 hrs away.
- I still have loads of backlog and another weekend set of meetings.
- I still need to pack.
- I’m sure I’m forgetting something.
The Ugly
Just look at the time stamp; my alarm is set for 5:15. A. M.
