It's interesting what goes on in your head when you are told that you are about to embark on an experience that will change your life. I have heard it before: when I started college, when I left home to start a "grown up" life of bills, when I had my daughter. I never heeded much caution, though. I never really paid attention to what my life was like at that moment so I could later reflect on how I changed. As I heard speaker after speaker tonight tell me that I never would be the same after this weekend, I decided I would listen this time. I will use this blog as a record. It will tell who I was as I waited for my big change. So, I am excited and anxious. I am ready to hear, see, touch, smell and even taste the next three days. I am relieved that there is a room full of people who still believe that there is a future for journalism. I hope that they will show me how I can be a part of that future.
