a few days in cincinnati,
a few days in champaign-urbana,
1 week at home,
1 week in jyväskylä,
2 weeks in helsinki,
1 week, visiting family,
5 weeks at home,
2 weeks in india,
and then the semester begins.
i keep forgetting that the same principle for weekly teaching schedules also applies to scheduling trips: don't underestimate how important large blocks of time are.
i know my trips will be productive [1].
there are more visits than conferences, which is nicer:
there's no fixed pace,
you already know with whom to talk and about what maths,
you have more resources at the ready: possibly an office, a printer, a library ..?
on the other hand, projects take time. papers take weeks, maybe months to write. NSF grant applications take a month, maybe two .. and then there are job applications.
[cringes]
getting older, i worry all the time. at least there's a 5-week block in july ..
[1] .. except visiting my parents, but that's to be expected.
