So, my Ph.D. advisor was in Japan for 2 weeks attending a conference and giving seminars. He presented my data in Japan, but sadly I did not get to go to Japan LOL! Today was his first day back in the lab, and I had a bunch of new data to show him. After I showed him my latest work, he says oh by the way there's a conference in Sept that you should go to. It's in Monterey, CA. So, at first I was really excited! I usually go to a big neuroscience conference every year, but this year the conference (it's in New Orleans this year) starts the day after our wedding so I can't go and I was pretty bummed about this. The conference in Monterey is much smaller, but it'll still be a good place to present my work.
However, there is one problem. The conference starts 2 days after FI's cousin's wedding which is being held an hour away from our hometown (so about 4 hours from where we live). I can't fly out of my hometown (Albany, NY) because it's a very small airport and flights are crazy $$. So, I'd have to go to the wedding on the 7th and then drive back to Rochester on the 8th (3 hour drive) so that I could fly out from here on the 9th.
In not so concerned about that, I can make that work. What I'm most worried about, is that I will be 3,000 miles away for 5 days when our wedding is about a months away!!! I'm so happy that I had the foresight to hire a wedding coordinator who will be picking up the planning process in the last 2 monts!
I guess going to a work related conference is one way to get your mind off of wedding related stress...but hopefully this won't create even more stress!!!
