more London!
Jul. 16th, 2004 05:44 pmAfter three days of conference, my head is about to explode -- lots of neat stuff, from graph theory to gigantohumungousmultirearprojector screens to ambient computing, presented my lots of neat people. I don’t see the sun during the day, but I’ll get to walk around and look at some art and sniff the London air independently tomorrow... after a good rest and a solid English breakfast, that is.
It turns out we saw The Rat Pack at the theatre the other night... OK I guess but not overwhelmingly spectacular. Basically an irreverent tribute... the music and dancing were good but part of me was waiting all night for the plot. A fun night out though, got to meet my prof’s son who works out here, and mingle with a certain type of Londoner (and probably loads of tourists).
This has been quite an experience. The presentation went really well and the profs are musing aloud about dispatching me to other far-off places to spread the word about our project. It’s exhausting but fulfilling. I hope I can keep everything balanced!
Looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow, but even more to coming home to Montreal,
funny_socks, friends, normal work, EDT, paying for stuff in dollars ...and my own bed (that sounded cliché, but it’s true).
Time to be off now... next entry will probably be stamped with a -5:00!
