Boring Conferences

So tomorrow I drive up with the other 6 interns for the big intern summer conference at HQ. We will be learning very important things like "impressive presentations skills" and how not to fall alseep during seminars. We are taking two vans because the conference is like 9 hours away and we don't get done until late Friday afternoon. Half the group wants to drive straight through and the other half wants to stay the night in KC. I am staying in KC because the company is paying and I really don't want to get home at 3 am saturday night because I have an additional 40 minute drive once I pick up my car at work.

We have to share rooms at the hotel with other interns and I have never met my roommate so I hope we can get along because that would suck otherwise. I don't really know the other interns from my unit because most of them are all engineering so hopefully we will survive the 9 hour drive to HQ. I get antsy about traveling with people that I don't really know, but I think I will be okay once we get on the road. I am hoping to get some crocheting done too. Wooo hooo!

I am hoping that one of the guys will want to drive a bunch so that I don't because I would love to be able to get some homework done or read one of the books I borrowed from my sister. We will have a lot of down time on tuesday and friday nights so I am coming prepared. I am not planning on partying because my legs are really sore and bruised from the canoe incident. Yeah. it sucks but tylenol is my friend and nothing was broken or sprained, just a little purple because i broke a lot of blood vessels when i wiped out in the water trying to help A my co worker lodge our canoe from the buried tree limb that it got stuck on. I didn't even know i had bruises until sunday morning when I woke up to go shopping.

Anyhoo, I promise a big fat update when i get back Saturday afternoon.
