[Sonic Youth 37]

I found out Saturday that I was chosen to give a 20 minute presentation at a conference on Medieval Studies at my University. This conference will host academics from all across the country, I am told. So, now, I have a month to expand my initial 200 word abstract into something about 15 times that size and scope and deliver it to a conference of historians, my professors, and my peers. I am both stoked beyond belief and completely overwhelmed with the task set before me.
