Had a good time in Louisiana this fall. Got to know a lot about myself as well as what it takes to be in a PhD program.

Safe travels and happy holidays.

So, I decided to get with my co-author and submit to another conference in New York, which I attended this past July. I got a couple of journal offers from low level journals at this conference.
