while traveling; writing.

at some point, i will become responsible. i'll finish writing talks before embarking on the visit to where i'll give the talk.

until then,

• while traveling yesterday,
  my connection was 3 hours late,
  
  so i sighed, bought a cup of coffee,
  and wrote a few more slides of my talk.


• my spring term ended two weeks ago;
  as for my hosts, they have until mid-june.
  
  while they were teaching or holding office hours,
  i was adding a few more slides to the talk.

odd:
life has a way of working out, sometimes.

in other news, this talk is taking forever to write! [1] (-:

---

it feels like a strange time in my life. i feel like i've been doing a lot of writing, but not much thinking.

[1] it's my first colloquium, you see. call me nervous, but i've never really given a non-specialist talk before.
