Rebecca's TAM5 Report, Part VI
Sunday, January 21 (continued) I woke up around 7am. I’m not sure how. Not only was I awake, but I was . . . aware. Against all odds, I had hosted a rocking party with constantly flowing booze and stayed awake until 2:30am, but was still pumped up for my talk in a few short hours. I was in that…

Rebecca’s TAM5 Report, Part V
Saturday, January 20 I woke up. That was the biggest triumph of the day, really, considering the previous night’s bender. I couldn’t really sleep anyway because of the stress — I had to prepare for a huge party, and the Riviera hadn’t allowed me to check into the room (or even find out the room number) until noon today. I…

Rebecca’s TAM5 Report, Part IV
Friday, January 19 (Night) Immediately following the conclusion of the day’s speakers, I met up with a friend (Exarch, who comments often here on the blog) and hustled across the street to the Hilton Hotel.

Tonight, I am going to the Woods Hole graduate student formal at The Captain Kidd Restaurant. The definition of “formal” attire is quite loose for this event, actually. I…

Rebecca’s TAM5 Report, Part III
Friday, January 19 Finally, the conference began! Sam and I were proud that we got in early (that is, before 2am) last night, so we actually made it to the breakfast before the talks began. For breakfast, one could choose from a variety of different types of sugar: sliced fruit, cheese danishes, apple danishes, croissants, orange juice, or apple juice.…
