Guess Who's (Finally) Back...

Wow, has it really already been two long weeks since the last time I posted? As much as I'd like to say that I'm surprised, doing so would only be kidding myself (and you, my loyal readers). So yes, as I expounded at length in my previous postings, I've been weathering what has been a tiring and challenging two weeks of finals, something I'm glad to say is now officially over (as of yesterday, 10:20 AM to be exact).

As you may imagine, I spent the next few hours immediately following my last exam vegging in front of my computer screen and lying in bed, two activities I've dearly missed over the past few days. Afterwards, I mustered up all the remaining energy I had and dragged myself to the gym, where I proceeded to jog for a short spell before the rigors of studying and lack of sleep overwhelmed my body and forced me to retire once again to the confines of my room and bed.

Having now rested up for a full night (sleeping an unprecedented 9 hours), I am busily taking care of a few random errands in anticipation of my flight to New Orleans in a few days to attend the IADR/AADR Research Conference (International Association of Dental Research / American Association of Dental Research). That should be a fun few days and, hopefully, if I'm as diligent as I hope to be (in other words, no promises) I'll be updating the blog with pictures of the conference floor and various posters.

All right, well, on that note, I will now return to packing up some stuff and finishing catching up on all of the reading (Wall Street Journal, New Yorker, The Economist, etc) that I've been forsaking for the past few days.
