I think I might actually take a proactive approach to my “career”. The Canadian Undergratuate Physics Conference this year is being held in, of all places, Fredericton. Not only that, but from the research I did over the summer for NSERC I even have something I could present.
It only comes down to:
- actually submitting an abstract to the powers-that-be
- figuring out what the proper format for a poster is
- figuring out what is entailed in actually presenting such a thing
- deciding if I can go away for five days leading up to my String Theory midterm and my philosophy midterm
- actually getting accepted to present in the first place
- and partying it up in the F’ton.
Total cake walk. (*rolls eyes*)
Actually, even more than the String Theory midterm, the thing that gives me the most pause about all this is that I would be away on October 21st, the day Richard Dawkins is speaking at McGill. I haven’t even read anything by this man (for shame, I know) but I feel like he’s already my hero.
What to do, what to do…
