I've been in San Diego for a very busy week at my favorite conference. I was sad because several of my friends couldn't come this year, but I still got to see some familiar faces and hang out with new friends.&nbsp;<br /><br />I think maybe the highlight was the morning the Star Wars trailer came out after a friend's roundtable and about eight acafangirls clustered around someone's phone, and when we saw Finn we all squeed in relief and delight.<br /><br />I gave a paper, spoke on a round-table, and co-chaired an area meeting, all of which went well. I have a bunch of notes for things to look into when I get back, plus several new books in my bag (like <em>The Fanfiction Reader</em>!) I look forward to reading.<br /><br />I'm hoping for a smooth flight today; I'm really tired and theoretically could even sleep....<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=caitri&ditemid=551550" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://caitri.dreamwidth.org/551550.html academia pca public 0
