I’m actually really excited about this! Not only do I get to go to classes 8 hours a day, but I get to go to lots of  lab classes – at the end of the period they make you turn in all your practice work for a grade. No lie! Lowest scorers have to act out a new Microsoft commercial on stage at the closing ceremony. Lots of “believable” “successful” “creative” computer users proclaiming “I am a PC”?!!?! John Hodgman owns you and your weak sauce computing persona.

I’m also hoping to capitalize on the unreasonably high number of freebies I get that week. The company I work for is paying for flights, room and conference. And hopefully Adobe’s got swag coming out of their square-rim bespectacled eyeballs. Note to self: check the airline’s policy for extra carry-ons.
