SBL hates me
Nov. 23rd, 2008 01:34 pmDear SBL,
I appreciate the fact that you have many interesting things going on this weekend. But did you really need to have the session with all my archaeological heroes and cool biblical studies professors overlap with the session my current professor is speaking in? Couldn't you have made the first one a little earlier? Now I have to leave one early to get to the other, which I know is commonly done, but still can be disruptive.
Sincerely,
Rachel

( The sessions in question, both this afternoon )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I might leave the second one early as well, because I have rehearsal at 7. Though it might be possible to get to MIT in a half hour. The conference is in the Hynes Convention Center, which is actually a T stop on the green line. I'd have to transfer to red from Park Street and walk from Kendall, but it can be done... Oh wait, it's on the #1 bus route, too! Yay! And they come often enough that if I get to the stop at 6:40 or even 6:50 I'll have no trouble getting to MIT on time.
So I guess this is all doable, but very annoying. And I probably should privilege the earlier session if I only go to one, since it has more cool people in it, and I don't see any of them anymore.
Though I realize I need to leave in a half hour. I still need lunch. Meep.
