rambles while waiting for my plane…

sitting in O’Hare airport waiting for the plane to arrive two hours late…I’m very tired from getting up at 6am or earlier the past five days because of flights, conference presentations, and hanging out with my nieces.  

I officially decided i’m ready to transition to the smart phone world.  after wishing for GPS about six times on this trip, and then spending $7 to get internet access in the airport, now i am convinced that i am ready for the plunge.  

i am going to keep rambling for the moment because i have nothing to do except wait for this flight.  yup, a real, genuine lull in work.  I finished my publishable paper, finished my class,  did the final presentation of the semester, and sent all the papers out for review.  time for a short breather before the storm starts again. Last week I was thinking maybe I wanted to get away from academia, and now after this conference I went to I am a little inspired again.  I was at a feminist social work conference, and it was really awesome to meet so many smart, passionate women—real role models i think.  

i just learned that my flight is now delayed another half hour.  awesome.  what else can i write about?  is anyone actually reading this? :)
