I learned yesterday that the paper I submitted to the ASONAM 2012 conference didn’t get accepted. While that’s disappointing, I wasn’t really looking forward to the expense of going to Turkey for the conference. It would have been a great experience, but not cheap.

On the brighter side, I met with the remaining member of my committee and got a lot of positive feedback, so I’m still on track with my research. Plus, I’ve had a chance to update my paper for the SRII Global Conference. Once I get my advisor’s OK on it (he’s also my co-author), I can submit that and concentrate on the longer paper he wanted me to work on.
