Happy Spring break everyone!  It is amazing – I really don’t think that I have ever had a real Spring break before!  I mean, I would of course travel during the time that we had off from school and classes – but I was always off to a track meet in high school or to the NCAA Indoor Championships in Arkansas (it was well worth it because we got to go to the Marketplace where they have the best Cajun Ribeye EVER!) or now as a doctoral student at the University of Tennessee – it is a break from classes, but not from work. 🙂  However, I am viewing this time a great time to work on my various projects from classes as well as working on a couple of conference papers.

Plus, I feel that my “spring break” will be at the end of May to beginning of June.  Why do you ask?  Well, in a period of three weeks, I will be presenting at three different conferences in three different places.  First, I will be presenting in San Francisco at the APS convention and next stop is Amsterdam for the Reputation Institute’s 13th International Conference on Corporate Reputation, Brand, Identity and Competitiveness.  A few days after I get back from The Netherlands, I am off to the 3rd International Conference on Psychology in Athens, Greece.  Definitely will be collecting my frequent flyer miles for sure! 🙂
