My first conference: OOPSLA 2009

As my professor graciously offered expense coverage to attend OOPSLA, several of my peers and I made it down as student volunteers. This is my first conference experience, hosted at Disney World's Contemporary World Resort. We arrived late Saturday night, and the program began the next morning with a joyfully early meeting at 7. So far it's been a good experience, but it's also been exhausting to continually wake up "early" (regular time for you working folks, I suppose). I ended up sleeping at 9:30 on Sunday, since I was so tired. I'm pretty sure I haven't done that in very many years. Since this post has gotten quite long, I'll be backposting a separate post for each day.
