It was held at the Hotel Elderado. I talked with so many interesting and fun people. The food was delicious also.<br \/>I recently have felt very disillusioned with academia and my thesis process. But this conference was just what I needed to feel good about my career path again. I received some compliments last evening at the banquet from several people. In general, they were thrilled with my presentation. One particular woman told me that I am a very skilled presenter and my presentation was very interesting and that she sees really exciting things ahead for me in my career&#8211;I can&#8217;t beat that comment! It felt so good to be with academics and to be treated with respect and as a person of interest and knowledge. And my paper was published in the conference proceedings so now I am published! \ud83d\ude42 Peter and Phil did a fab job planning the conference.<br \/>I feel good about the path I am on. My goal to get my MFA next and teach and research Fine Arts at a University is just what I want. <br \/>The only down side of the conference is that I lost my note book and one of the presenters from UBC kept reiterating in her speech that Canada is a British colony! \u00a0We are a part of the British Commonwealth of Nations but we are NOT a colony nor have we been in a very long time. We became an independent nation in 1867!<\/p>\n<p>And double more fun! I am for sure teaching 2 <b><i>ZumbAtomics <\/i><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">classes this fall at the rec centre.
