I wrote so much on two papers this week.. And yet I am organizing a Shut Up and Write event this Sunday. I have run out of things to write, as I am waiting for my co-authors' feedback. I guess I can just take it easy today. It's nice that three papers are coming out in total, right at about the same time. My 1 year and 8 months have surely not been a waste!
Another good news is that my advisor was willing to cover the cost of a conference registration for November. It seems that I am going to SC this autumn! I've been paying a lot for travels this year, but it's all necessary cost, as the conference is held only every other year, and it's a great way to be connected with bean researchers.
Met some artists on Thursday and got to have a picnic with them at Kamo-river. It's so interesting to meet with new people with similar interests. They all have different backgrounds, interests, and dreams, and so much so that it takes a long time to get to know them, which is a fun part.
Maybe I should start tweeting inspiring and calming phrases every day, as a means to help others who are stressed and/or feeling stuck.
Another thing - I will probably help a friend to get a permanent residency in Japan. It requires a guarantor, who must be a citizen or a PR. But a guarantor is not legally responsible for theie guarantee's illegal acts or unpaid debts; it's more like a friend/advisor whom the guarantee can go to when they have questions or need assistance. Sure thing! I would love to do that. It's my way to thank my friends in the US that helped me with administrative stuff. I'm glad that I can continue a virtuous cycle like this.
