Yesterday's progress report: from 9am to 5pm using the microprobe to attempt additional analyses on the phases for which our data was lacking on the previous experiments. Now I need to process that data to see if any of it worked, this time. Another 3 or 4 hours of uni work in the evening writing the first draft of my speech for the Marie Curie conference next week, since the conference organizers required that it be e-mailed to them by noon Friday of this week.

Today's progress report: Revised the speech and e-mailed it to them with five minutes to spare on the deadline. Then did further revisions to it before posting it to my academic web page. Followed that up with booking flights and a rental car for [livejournal.com profile] aelfgyfu and I to get to the Academia della Danza/Revel in a Castle. This should be a much easier trip than Coronation was. Instead of spending two days (each way) in a rental car, on that Friday we will walk 30 minutes to the train station, then take the hour-long bus ride to the airport, where we will wait two hours for a 1 hour, 40 minute flight. Then we will take a rental car a 3.5 hour drive to the event, reversing the process on Sunday.

I am planning on taking a train tonight or tomorrow morning (depending on if the cost is the same or chepaer to wait) to Florence to join [livejournal.com profile] aelfgyfu and her SCA brother & his friend for weekend fun stuff, but I feel vaguely guilty about it, since I really need to:

*polish the last experiment I ran to get it ready for analysis
*process the data from yesterday's microprobe session
*book flights to Budapest for the August conference
*figure out how I'm getting from Budapest to Vienna
*figure out where I'm staying in Vienna for the August short course
*book flights back from Vienna
*create the poster for the Budapest conference
*create the poster based on the speech for next week's Marie Curie conference (since there is a poster contest we speakers have been encouraged to do posters, too)
*finish re-arranging everything in The Closet now that only one person lives there
*write that(ose) paper(s) from my PhD research that should have been submitted months ago
*apply for the three interesting sounding jobs
*find a source of funding to which to apply to do research at the Uni in Tromso--they'd take me if we can find funding
