To conference...or not

Jan 24, 2012 03:28

I have my abstract ready to be sent out at a moment's notice.

All that's left is my final decision. To conference or not to conference, that is the question...

I don't know...why is this so hard to figure out, argh. I mean, there's the whole, spend $1500 to boost my ego and show off to everyone the fact that I'm done...or I can bow down in disappointment and NOT go...

Like, I'm starting to wonder if it's really worth spending $1500 to go to some deserted hick town for an ego boost. If I decide on going, it sure as hell won't be because of Rhode Island. I'm never going to be interested in visiting that place. If I do decide on NOT going, it sure as hell won't be because of my parent's objections. It'll be for different reasons. I'm leaning towards financial burdens for not going. But god, I want to meet new people, experience new things and most of all, travel to a foreign place! Sigh...what to do! I mean, I highly doubt I'll ever go to an IAFP conference ever again...unless it's held in Canada, then *maybe*...

This is like a first world problem. It's not even funny anymore.

Hmm...yeah. Okay. I think I have come to a final decision. I'm not going to go...well, unless I change my mind in the next 12 hours! Ha...sigh.

Life is full of regret but I've already been to 2 big conferences and 1 local one so I guess 3 is not a bad way to finish off my program, right? At least I went to some...although I always dreamed of leaving the province to go to an actual BIG international conference. Sigh...
