Too Many Thoughts

So many thoughts and so many ideas for a post so I figure I'll choose one now and then get to another one later this week.  I just looked at my list for the first time in a month or so, I pretty much know what's on my list (because duh I made it), but haven't read the whole thing recently.

The exciting thing is that I realized that I can officially cross off #17 from my list.  I presented in February at the AFLV conference, which is funny because 10 days later we did the same presentation as a webinar.  This was an intentional plan but the team I presented with realize how hard it can be to adapt an in person presentation to a webinar.  The friends I did this with and I are much interactive presenters so not being able to see faces, ask questions and get feedback was HARD!  Good experience but glad they are over!

I also got notified this week that I was selected to facilitate at Phi Mu's IMPACT, which is right before our convention.  That means I get to cross another thing off the list!  So excited for this experience, even if I won't be staying for the entire convention being there for part of it will be amazing.

Ok enough for tonight. More to come soon.

Friends and Traveling!

So I totally feel like today is one of those days that I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off!  Tomorrow morning In the middle of the night (2:30am) I leave with my colleague and 12 students to head to a Fraternity and Sorority Life Leadership Conference in St Louis.  Being the organizer that I am, I want to have everything neat and orderly so I've been checking double checking hotel reservations, checking in for flights etc.  All on top of trying to figure out what last minute things I need to get done for work before being gone for 4 days.

The exciting part of this weekend is that I get to see LOTS of friends!  Many people that I have gotten to know over the years through work have become close friends of mine and I look forward to seeing them the 2-3 times a year that I get the chance.  

Even more exciting was the present that I got unexpectedly in the mail last week...I love packages at work especially since 99.9% of the time they really aren't for me!  So needless to say I was pumped when this came in the mail.

My good friend Laura is my music supplier! She loves music and is constantly keeping on top of new artists and she is also the one who updates my iPod when we get the chance (she does live in Boston), which means that most of the 3200+ songs on my iPod are because of her.  Since Laura has been keeping tabs on me through this blog she thought I could use some new workout music and boy is she right.  Now I need to remember to get it on the iPod...I'll add that to tonight's to do list!  I did a quick listen at work last week though and I can't wait as it's a really good mix.  Thanks Laura!

OK off I go to get the work to do list buttoned up in hopes of ditching out a bit early to pack and relax before the departure.  So excited to see people!
