Some Ottawa friends googled me recently and told me that I am now the top hit when my name is typed in, because of my impending presentation at the upcoming AoIR conference. I was surprised and skeptical because doing this in the past, I always turned up some woman from the U.S.
I tried it myself and sure enough...here I am.
And right underneath the AoIR links to that presentation and conference info is a link to this space.
Wow.
I have to admit, after 10+ years of search engine anonymity, this newfound top-o-the-charts celebrity is a bit intimidating. Suppose it can't hurt though when I'm applying for US grad schools this winter?
Speaking of which, I'm going to be totally schizo on the GRE tests I've got to take in order to get admitted to said schools. My math skills are so old and out of date that I don't even know where to begin on most of the math samples I've done, yet I tend to score pretty darn near 100% on the language tests. Wonder if the over-the-top language scores will be sufficient on their own to get me in?
Otherwise, I'll be stuck at the U of T, Carleton or as a last resort, McGill *shudder*
