I just registered to give a poster presentation at the regional meeting for one of the big professional organizations I'm a member of. I'm kind of flailing because a) I've never done this before, 2) I had to write a 200 word abstract in like 15 minutes because I waited to the last day to register, #) my adviser is MIA because he's on sabbatical so I can't get his help on any of this, and 3) I'm going to be traveling before and after this meeting meaning little time to prepare.

Even better, I have to get put an abstract and everything together to do another poster presentation in April at the big country wide meeting also without my adviser's help.

FLAIL.
