oh well

There's this conference that I really want to go to. It's the angiography club that is going to be held in October in Graz. I attended it last year in Istanbul and gave my first overseas talk . I met lots of people and got to know some people quite well. There's this girl from China who works at the military hospital. Her life in China and her talk dressed in her uniform left a deep impression. The chair of the session in which I spoke in was really encouraging and so friendly. I met some big names in the field and actually got to chat with them. I saw from this year's preliminary program that the people I missed at this year's major conference in Toronto are going to be in Graz. This conference is small and cosy and you actually get to approach people and be inspired. I submitted an abstract for the conference and it got accepted.

But I cannot go. Because I am going to be in America. I'm really looking forward to the three month work in America but I can't help feeling so sorry that I won't be able to make it to angio club. I'm so sad. You know how sometimes it's been a really long time since you cried and you feel like it's about time for a good bawl. I feel a little bit like that now. Oh well. Maybe next time.
