Ready!

Hello, hello, hello!

I have very big and exciting news. My mum has had a scare, recently, regarding her throat and neck, just received the news that all tests are good, and wonderful, and there is no cancer. It's been worrying all of us, and I am so beyond happy that everything turned out well. It's been pretty stressful.

Tomorrow, I am leaving for a conference. Frankly, I'm so excited that I can't stand it, but also a little nervous. I know it's a bit silly that I'm nervous, but firstly, social situations always make me a bit uneasy, and secondly, I haven't seen many of these people in a year, so I get worried about whether I'll reconnect with them.

I'm actually going to be speaking on a panel at the conference this time around, called "Ask A Grown Unschooler". That's also a bit nervous making, but I'm excited too.

Most of all, I'm just happy to be going back. Ready to spend time with my old friends and make new ones. Ready to play cards, Werewolf, Bananagrams, and pick-up-sticks. Ready to stay up late, dance to music, dress up in costumes. Ready to not be judged for my educational choices and background.

I am SO ready for this conference.
