Immersion or drowning?

I think that we talk ourselves into some professional activities without doing all the thinking first. I am attending a five day training that (hopefully) will result in nothing less than integrated information literacy for multiple colleges on my campus. I am also one of the local organizers and I am bemused by the amount of time I have already spent dealing with minutae related to food, music, printers, baggage transfers, and student workers. I am already feeling drained and I know that I have a long haul yet. Must return to my assignment before guilt overwhelms me.
