I have discovered how quickly I can slip into Manic Student mode. Thanks in no small part to Gabriella, the PhD candidate who is the main support/organizer on the conference my prof is hosting. She will work for twelve hours in the 1937 Reading Room (the postgraduate haven and self-torture chamber). So I have slipped into these crazy hours of staring at a computer. I try to do my little stretches and whatnot to minimize the headaches and neck-aches and brain-aches, but I think it's all a bit inevitable after six hours let alone ten or twelve. The bonus is feeling unintelligible within my own head.
It's amazing that I can immerse myself in the assorted tasks of researching insulated coffee dispensers, finding an appropriate map for information packets, locating acceptable folders for the aforementioned information packets, compose press release-type materials, proof emails... it never seems to end. But it will. Next week. A few days after the conference is over and the dust has settled.
And then I will start classes!
