quick hello

nafsa is fun so far. i'm meeting lots of people from different backgrounds and places. one thing i can say, so far, is that it's a serious conference, very different from tesol. and they FEED us all the time: welcome reception (tons of free food), "make friends" dinner, first timer breakfast, plenary luncheon, no-host dinner, etc. etc.! and they never give us a free minute. i got here at 2:30 pm (only took me 2.5 hours to get here because i drove really fast) and i haven't had a minute to myself since them! but it's been fun and interesting. louisville seems to be a cool place, i'd say probably 5/8 as cool as ann arbor, pretty, with the river, and with a nice downtown area and tons of cool restaurants and specialty stores. i'll check if they offer a job somewhere around here.

ok, i'm exhausted and have to wake up super early for the 7:30 breakfast tomorrow... nighty night!

oh, and staying at the hotel where the conference takes place is AWESOME! something i'll always try to do from now on, even if i have to pay more.
