By Thursday evening, I felt more or less back to normal. I did have to leave one session due to a coughing fit, but the paper was only marginally interesting, anyway.
Hotel living is definitely more fun when the internet is connected, although eight euros an hour. . .wow. Luckily, my hotel wasn't that bad -- it was about 12 euros a day. But considering that internet access is free in many less-expensive hotels (not the big-city conference hubs), I hate to pay for it.
As for my academic commitment. . .well, we'll see how I feel come summer! But I really do need to get at least one article out. I have one I've been working on in a desultory fashion for a while; I could probably have it in publishable shape by summer's end. And it's not as if I'd need to spend every day on it.
