Welcome

I am excited to be leaving for CHI on Thursday but I have a lot of preparation to do before then. My team is pretty much ready to go. We have our poster printed and we are working on some additional items. We are also submitting our project to the Ubiquitous Computing conference in Korea this year. That paper is due Friday but we finished up the first draft that is 90% where we want it to be.

I have to get a large amount of writing done for a class project and paper that I am working on with some friends. The deadline is before I get back from Italy so I want to make sure I have contributed as much as I can to this project.

It has been a rough last couple of weeks with a bunch of user testing and setting up for a user test going on but things are starting to settle a little now. I feel better about being able to get enough done that I won't feel like I had to work at CHI. I did this last year and it was really difficult.

I am looking forward to meeting the other teams in the Student Design Competition. It should be exciting.
