Figures: Packing for Montreal and NYC

One of the perks of being a grad student is that I occasionally get to travel on the department's dime.  I have been MIA these last few weeks because I have been preparing my poster for the International Congress on Human Genetics in Montreal, Quebec!  I will be there for 4 days and then I get to visit Jules from Shoes and Jules next weekend!  Yes, my life is occasionally glamorous!

Not only am I excited to attend the conference and go to Canada for the 1st time, I'm also excited to finally get to dress up after weeks of wearing sweats, t-shirts, and jeans (stressed out Shoe Doctor = no energy left to be fashionable).  Here are some clothes I will likely be packing for Montreal.  I say likely because I am a notorious last-minute packer.  I feel I make my best packing decisions when under pressure.  Also, there are too many shoes I want to bring.  I don't fancy telling some of them that they will not be coming with me on my trip.  Yes.  My shoes have feelings.
