So here I am at Zoological Society of Southern Africa (ZSSA) conference. Today was registration day and tomorrow is dooms day...
Why doomsday you ask?
I just found out that I'm going to be presenting my thesis in the first session of the first day! Not to mention the changed format of the conference. The last time there were several venues with different talks. So you choose the one you were most interested in and attended. This year they decided to have ONE venue so basically each speaker presents their work to EVERYONE else.
My vision of presenting my work to a small (20-50 people) group of enthusiasts in a cozy lecture theater has been utterly trashed. Instead, I will stand on a stage in a Massive hall, my voice booming on the PA system, presenting my work to around 400 hard core scientists.
EEEEK!
(EEbEE has fainted...)
(the end)
