I’m going to be busy tomorrow at work until I leave. My principal just called me and said it’d be fine for me to leave at 1:30. I should get there in plenty of time now (I hope!). I just hope I don’t run into any thunderstorms or snow.

I’m a little nervous about the trip. I’ve never really gone away out of town by myself before. I’ve never stayed at a hotel by myself before. I’ve never gone to a conference by myself before. It will just be weird being away from Colin and Pouncy. I’ve only spent the night away from Colin for like two nights since we’ve been married (because he was gone to a conference). It’ll all be fine I’m sure, but it will be a little nerve-wracking at first probably.

In other news- my brand new pink camera just arrived in the mail from Staples! I’m charging the battery right now. I can’t wait to try it out to see if I’m going to like it. If I don’t like it, I am totally sending it back. I had a $20.00 coupon and a $125.00 gift card, so it only cost me like $40.00. Bargain!
