This too was my first National Convention and it was all I expected and
more.  I was looking forward to it ever since I was not able to go in 2000
because of family plans.  I was able to balence my time just right of
doing a lot of convention stuff and enjoying New Orleans as I'm sure most
people did!

Meeting new people is also one of my favorite parts of conferences and I
was able to do that as well as to hang out with a lot of great  people I
have met at past conferences.  My only complaint was that I had so much
fun that it was convention seemed to be over way to soon.  That and the
elevators.

The long drive home was made a bit sweeter by my school's crushing victory
over Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl! yesterday.
