immersed.
tired.
happy.

unable to think about much beyond the now. and i'm okay with that.

i knew this conference would be amazing on an intellectual level. i didn't expect it to be so on a social level as well. we are a tribe, we meet for talks and debriefing and to go eat or drink and we stay up laughing too late. last night i slept on a makeshift contraption made of two chairs facing each other with a footstool in between. they are large and comfy and all about the same height so when you shove them together to eliminate the gaps, it makes a pretty good little sleeping nest. i am feeding myself on coffee and balance bars during the day. last night was indian food with colleagues and faculty.

and all around me are people who speak my new language.
