Done! The horrible presentation is done! There were questions I couldn't answer, but mostly because the topic is so new and the data is all over the place and the original researchers are mostly at the "huh, yeah, we don't know. But isn't the data interesting?!" phase. I think I might have looked a bit stupid, but I really don't care overmuch. Because, did I mention, DONE!!!

And now I just have to write a paper about it, but that's not due for another three weeks, so there'll be some time before I start whining to LJ about it. Thank you for your patience. ♥

And presale seats for the Decemberists with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra went up today, and Marc ruled enough to get some for us. Row A yay!

Yay! for being done, and yay! for tickets!

the original researchers are mostly at the "huh, yeah, we don't know. But isn't the data interesting?!" phase.

I love that phase. I'm going to try and spend my entire academic career at that phase.

I mean, that phase is SO much fun as a researcher - that's the play, right? But I hate presenting on it, because as a student it's a disaster and they're all so full of "but what does that mean for processing and why does it work that way" and I'm like... do I look like a cognitive neuroscientist to you? I DO NOT KNOW GO TO BOSTON AND ASK HER OMG I WILL DRIVE YOU TO THE AIRPORT!
