Conference Dancecard is filling up
Last night, when i finally open up my email acct (and i get WAY too much REAL email during the day), i discovered that the organizer of my panel for the NeMLA conference in April has dropped out. They are looking for someone to replace him, or a random NeMLA representative will step up. I had been asking for details about the length of my submission for a while now. Unfortunately, i now have to condense a thirty-page paper into a fifteen-page paper. I am hoping to be able to outsource this project as effectively as i outsourced the transcription portion of my translation.
I have been invited to present a paper on Rucellai (the current translation task) at the AAIS conference in Ann Arbor the week after the NeMLA. I was seriously considering it as, well, since i need a draft by March 1st, if i can’t talk coherently about the paper by the end of April i will be in much deeper water - but i found out yesterday when speaking to Prof. Terpstra that the RSA is in Montreal in 2011! I don’t foresee writing anything worth of presenting at such a prestigious conference before applications next fall, so i am considering perhaps holding off on presenting the Rucellai paper. Ah, thank the good lord for awesome advisors who i am sure will have brilliant suggestions to soothe my troubled mind.
