Today did not start off so great. Last night I didn’t sleep well. As a result, I woke with a bit of a headache that I did not want to have escalate to a full blown migraine. I decided to stay back at the hotel and rest. I looked over the class schedule and decided that the afternoon classes looked more interesting to me than the morning ones did anyway. One thing I really liked this year compared to the Seminar I attended five years ago is that our classes were split based not only on our career path level, but our number of years in the buisness. Hooray! Finally, I can go to a class and not hear the same tired things over and over and over and over!

My favorite class was the last one I went to. For the life of me I can’t remember what it was called, but the teacher was great! It was an interactive class, too, which was very nice. This was such a change from last time when I just sat in Hall A the whole time and some speakers spoke and not much was new info. This was a breath of fresh air! Basically, it was about releasing past mistakes, mishaps, bad experiences, etc. and moving forward. I liked it. We got to talk to our neighbors about things that went wrong in our buisnesses and excuses we may have used to not keep at it. It was almost like group therapy. It was also a relief to see that I am not the only one who is a senior consultant with 5+ yrs under her belt. I felt great after that class!

Next it was time to get ready for the Awards Night festivities! My friends and I met up for dinner all dressed up! That was fun! Dinner was delicious and we took some photos in the lobby of the hotel before meeting our director and heading to the Convention Center.

The Awards Night was amazing! I really enjoyed the entertainment. They had six or seven performances and they were so good! The performer in me appreciated that! It also broke up the recognition. Not that I don’t like the recognition; I just remember it felt very long the last time. This seemed to keep the night moving right along. It was exciting to see people I know get recognized on stage for their accoplishements. Next year I’m going to be up on that stage! I’m tracking Court of Sales! It was a fabulous evening! I can’t believe I’ll be home tomorrow.
