I'm off to Barcelona today for a conference. It will be good to get away for a bit, but unfortunately I haven't finished my dissertation proposal yet, and that's due on Easter Sunday. So I will be coming back on Thursday to finish that up. At least after Sunday I will be done with all of my Masters courses. It seems hard to believe now, given how long it feels like it's been since I started it. It will feel even better when I've actually finished it!

Started my new job this past week, which is exciting, but also slightly inconvenient that I'm going away to this conference so soon. This is slightly tempered by the fact that during the two weeks around Easter, the university barely runs at all anyway, as there is little teaching going on.
