Okay, I should be working on my thesis, but I am still all wound up after the past two weeks of conferences. I really didn't get the chance to blog much, because I was busy practicing my talk and afterwards, too excited by all the people I met and got to hang out with. Real people are more interesting than my laptop. My favorite paper at the UbiComp conference was in fact one that was not in the proceedings but a paper I had sent by one of the coolest guys in the field, a paper to appear in the Journal of CSCW, which relates to my thesis.
Glasgow was nice in a Glasgow way, the roughness of the city kept me spellbound for a whole Sunday of shopping, sightseeing and just hanging out in coffee shops. The highlights of the Mobile HCI conference was the game Wednesday afternoon where I won the first round together with my team mate. I was running around in my heels, not thinking of anything but wining (my competitive gene). I also met some really nice people, and got better in understand Scottish (which is such sexy accent). I had way too much fun in Glasgow (and have three blue bruises on my arm to prove it...) and by the end of the week I was drained for energy. Friday I just spend in Starbucks reading through my dissertation. Now a night of just staying in, eating sushi, watching mindless telly (I am trying to pick up the British...) seems like the perfect activity.
