moTec Exhausting
Wow, I am dead tired today. If you've ever heard me talk about
being tired, I was lying, because apparently I have never been tired to
the point that I am at now. Our schedule here at the conference is
insane (www.dynamicwalking.org).
Basically, the conference talks go from 9am to 6pm EVERY day... no long
"free time" breaks and only one hour for lunch and dinner. It's now
10pm and I could easily fall asleep for a solid 16 hours right now.
The
good news though is that I've been learning a lot... there are experts
in the field from all over. I've also started to view the value of grad
school (yes, I know, I've been in school for 2 years now). That is, a
lot of the thinking and ideas that go on here would only be found in
this kind of setting. One where you're being stretched to consider
questions to which there are no answers right now. A lot of theory gets
thrown around, and people discuss these things. To be completely
honest... I've never been around people as smart as at this conference.
