And I'll be the first to admit that Miami isn't exactly a central location--but of course, Seattle is on the other end of the country, and they get to host the AWP.<br /><br />I'm not complaining, mind you. I'm happy for the chance to go to Seattle.<br /><br />But Chicago in February? Well, it will make me appreciate our warm weather here--our highs today will be in the mid-80's and it's already beastly humid.Kristin Berkey-Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841824206762029363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785052391761134022.post-49843787366737220842011-02-09T14:43:27.917-05:002011-02-09T14:43:27.917-05:00Thanks for your wonderful summary.

It would make so much more sense than Chicago in February!Diane Lockwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614479152159652577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785052391761134022.post-26736945801854067372011-02-08T21:24:40.618-05:002011-02-08T21:24:40.618-05:00Thanks everyone, for taking time to comment.

Maybe us Florida folks can bring some heat and humidity with us, and it won't be so unbearable. Or we'll just stay inside and watch it snow while headed off to yet another great panel.Kristin Berkey-Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841824206762029363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785052391761134022.post-28155917500893735622011-02-08T19:13:12.012-05:002011-02-08T19:13:12.012-05:00GREAT POST!

T...GREAT POST! Still so sorry to have missed you.<br /><br />This was my 5th AWP in 6 years and I finally felt like I put my inner 16-year-old to rest. It does help to pre-arrange a few plans, so I'm doubly sorry we missed our dinner.<br /><br />Definitely in Chicago!Sandy Longhornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735445958970512617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785052391761134022.post-70540056331726296672011-02-08T13:29:33.492-05:002011-02-08T13:29:33.492-05:00Great summary!

I am often told that those of us in the community college system are in the trenches and have way too much to do -- yet I find that my colleagues in other college systems have bigger classes and serve on more committees -- people all over are just working more, I think.Karen J.

And thanks so much for talking about the sessions on teaching concerns, as half the conference is on teaching, right? The other half on writing!! And the whole on both, balance or no!!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559881249054540947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785052391761134022.post-63917594050307352892011-02-08T07:30:59.015-05:002011-02-08T07:30:59.015-05:00Thanks for this terrific summary.
