Submitting a Paper for the First Time
This week I submitted my first paper to a conference. Well, technically it was a note, which means it is only four pages long. And I was second author. But it is still the first paper to go out there with my name on it.
The process was pretty tiring, but it was worth it. We went from general outline to outline at the paragraph level to outline at the sentence level to draft and finally to finished paper. And the introduction was written at least four different times. It was really hard to nail down.
I am really eager to talk about what we wrote, but it will have to wait until the paper actually goes through the review process and gets accepted. Hopefully that should happen sometime in July. I will blog about it as soon as I get notified!

Are you sure it's the first paper with your name on it? But I've seen you write your name on many different papers before (jejeje, just a bad joke...).
Congrats, though! I'm glad to know your hard work has been rewarding.
