I'm freaking out
Feb. 27th, 2007 06:27 pmI got accepted to my first academic conference!! I'm freaking out. For many reasons. First, because when I sent my prospectus to my adviser, I also sent it to the conference committee, and then she told me she didn't think I should submit it. EEEK. Second, because ... it's a conference! I'm going to be presenting to a conference! EEEEK. I mean, I can talk a mile a minute on many subject matters, and in this particular instance I think I'm sort of reasonably authoritative, but
holy god, i'm going to have to talk in front of my peers.
and about this: the representation and construction of social norms, identities and relationships in film, literature and language.
Yep, that's what the conference topic is about. My topic? A sci-fi film that was created by an obscure religious group in order to promote their doctrine in kind of a unique way.
Oh my god. The butterflies are killing me already.
Third, because we just had this seminar about how one shouldn't be a total conference slut. and now i'm going to a conference!
