I just got an email from my advisor telling me about two upcoming conferences for my *new* profession. The first one is less than a month away...no can do; however, there is one in Mid-October that I might be able to attend. It's in Washington, DC, a place I've longed to visit for ages and ages.
Cost of the conference is slightly challenging, but I have a job interview on Tuesday for something I'm really excited about--*fingerscrossed* that I get it. If I do, I can totally make it to the conference. Then the problem would be getting the time off. Time or money, it's always something isn't it? Then the hotel costs are waaaaaaaaay more than I like to pay for a hotel ( $232 a night but it's with two beds--but if I could find a roomie it would cut that in half). Or hell, do they have Motel 6 in Washington DC? LOL It would only be for two nights, but still, the cheapskate in me is a bit freaked out by that price. I'd want to stay a couple more days at someplace cheaper so I can visit the monuments, white house, congress, etc.
It's a great networking opportunity as well as a chance to see our capitol. What to do, what to do.
Hope and pray, and do my best.
I've been to Washington, D.C. only once -- when I was a grad student going to a conference - lol. It's great ,,, and yes, I shared a pricey hotel room, had very little extra time, but made the most of what i did have. What a greatopportunity,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure going to try and go. *fingerscrossed*
