Oh boy, all that free bar action really did me in last night. By 9pm I was so completely annihilated that sleeping was even difficult to do. Waking up this morning, knowing that I had to be presentable for the conference was like a nightmare. After a large, greasy breakfast I was able to get myself together and I ended up taking a freakin cab to school. I was supposed to save the drinking for tonight's free bar, but I just couldn't help myself. Let's see if I can keep the wine intake to a minimum tonight at the gala dinner.
