Last evening at 1810h I walked out of the hotel; the conference was finally over. I realize -- uh no -- I have always known that I stress out over the little details of things. Big picture stuff I can handle. Last minute details, hours before the 'deadline' - they nearly do me in every time.
The evaluation forms show an overall conference rating of 4.3/5. Not too shabby I think. Comments were not anything I wasn't expecting: the typical thoughts on food, noisy ventilation, too short, too long. One final report and I'm done this baby. Being education chair was great but oh so time consuming. (My volunteer capacity is not really over ... I don't say no, remember? I now have a bigger title but what I think is actually less work than this past year.)
At least it's over and I can start thinking about Africa!!!! Only 24 more days (maybe less when you read this ... check the counter over on your left).
