I had made reservations for a room in the Schaffer hall, which is supposed to be a private room with its own bathroom and shower. And they told me that was my reservation. However, when I got there they put me in Henday hall instead, which turned out to be just like my old dorms in Berkeley, with shared bathrooms. To make things worse, the urinals are flushed automatically about every three minutes. I thought someone was playing Mahjong at first. :-p And to wrap things up, there was construction in my building starting around 7:30AM. :-( At least I got my own room and it seemed like there was only one other person staying down my hall. Still, it rattled me and pissed me off...
The conference and presentation itself went very smoothly in comparison. I was the first to present and a bit nervous. I talked too fast and finished in about 20 minutes when I was scheduled for 25 minutes. Well, I contributed to getting the conference back on time I guess. ^_~
