So last night I stayed up much too late
working on a grant application for a couple reasons. One is "Oh,
hi executive functioning! I have some real trouble with you!"
since I do have some trouble with that. The other is that I was off
at the ASAN gala and a panel about disability and inclusion in the
humanities. I was not on the panel or anything, but I have two
friends from online who were! That was actually a great time, which I
will talk about later. Now I
am tired. I am very tired, since I got insufficient sleep Monday
night in order to be prepared and caught up for leaving Tuesday,
insufficient sleep Tuesday night because we got in late from the
drive to DC (we got lost, among other things, but mostly lost in
Secaucus,) insufficient sleep Wednesday night because Gala, Gala
running late, and hanging out talking to people after the Gala,
insufficient sleep Thursday night because getting in late from the
drive home from DC (got lost in Secaucus again),
hopefully sufficient sleep tonight (please!), and then planning on
insufficient sleep both Saturday and Sunday nights thanks to Splash,
which will be awesome.
I
really am looking forward to Splash. I've been teaching there for a
while, and I was a student there before I taught. Among other things,
I took generating functions, fractional calculus, and make chainmail
when I was a student there. Make chainmail was a lot of fun- it's the
medieval armor kind, not the spam kind, and it makes a great thing to
do with my hands. (Yes, I made chainmail during class in my senior
year of high school. It was something to do with my hands and landed
me an awesome prom dress.) Now I teach. I'm running an activity about
autism, too, and I'm looking forward to that since I have more
experience of what Autistic culture is like post-gala and I figure
that is relevant and also talking about things I'm interested in is
awesome.
And
that's basically that. Busy week, busy weekend. Sometime I'll manage
to get enough sleep, and something tells me that's going to be
Thanksgiving.
