RILA Conference 2007

So...the conference was pretty fun! I went with my co-worker Veronika, we took the bus together and got to the JWU library kinda early. There were breakfast-y snacks and whatnot. There were sponsors who had free pens and rulers, so I loaded up on free stuff XD The first program I went to as about blogging. We were taught how to create a blog and stuff...using Blogger! Too bad I didn't wait a few more days to get one of these things! So I helped Veronika with hers. We had a half-hour break after that, then went to the next program, which was about the RI Historical Society. It was pretty interesting, I didn't know it was free to get in. So now I really want to go!

When that was over there was some sort of meeting but I skipped that and had a muffin and read for a while. Then I went to the presentation room to see the speaker, (awesome) author Peter Abrahams! He's really cool. When he was done there was a book signing, so I bought a copy of End Of Story and he signed it for me :) Then came lunch! I love going to school at JWU, because we're known for the amazing food. Which is what we got for lunch! I sat with some people I didn't know, I'm trying to get over my social anxiety disorder so stuff like that helps. They were really nice. I met back up with Veronika and we went to the presentation about foreign films. I got a lot of links to cool video and archiving sites that I'll have to check out.

All in all, it was a fun day, and I'd love to go again next year!
