"lured by a very well-designed flier"

marcia ochoa and rebekah rodriguez rule. so does kenneth anderson.

today, we held the conference we have worked on for months and months. we had hoped to host 50-60 people; we budgeted for 80; 120 people registered; >160 came. we worried that we would have a major announcement to make at the session: we would host a wake or a reincarnation of the program.

it has risen! the provost came across with an annual budget, promised for the next three years. we worked hard for this. i am so eXhausted, i could cry.
