Another free trip

I went to sleep today at 1:30 and woke up at 9:30. I might be challenging fate, but would still go out on a limb and say that I am over my jet lag. But now that I am over the effects of one trip, I have been drafted into the plans of another.

Have plans to go to Seattle from the 16th to the 19th May. I am sure that this trip will not lead to that strong jet lags. The time difference is just 2 hours as opposed to 8 hours between Rhodes and Champaign. The good thing is that the trip resolves around writing grant proposals for Bioinformatics project. Both are things that interest me very much. Training in writing grant proposals will come in handy in later stages of my life, and bioinformatics is a great, interesting and challenging field to work in. We will have two days of meetings to formulate the report for Stage 1 and write the proposal for Stage 2.

The other exciting part of it is, I have never been to Seattle, so this gives me a chance to visit the city for free. Also I have many friends in Seattle whom I havent met in a long time, and will love to meet once I am there. So overall I am looking forward to this visit.
