My first conference presentation

My first paper on Tom Murphy has been accepted (in an abbreviated form) to the 2007 IASIL conference on Varieties of Irishness. I just read the email of acceptance and it's all still sinking into my understanding, but I am very excited.

I am planning to submit my presentation on Doubt to a different conference which is at once less daunting and more stressful to consider. Less daunting because I feel some level of validation in my work being accepted at a different conference and because the Doubt project began as a presentation. I am slightly more stressed because my fantastical mind starts racing into the future possibilities if I participate in two conferences with two different projects while I am here in Ireland. So mild stress and lots of excitement.
