Guess who might be going to Vegas? THIS GIRL!!! I haven't been there in 7 years. I have an amazing opportunity, so I think I may be able to pull this off financially too. My parents are going to help out with the expense. For my ultrasound program, it is a requirement that I go to a conference for sonography every year. Most of my class is going in May to one in Atlantic City for a week. I looked into the cost and it is super expensive. Then, the program director mentioned the SDMS conference in Las Vegas and after doing research, I think this is doable!!! I am so excited. You have no idea. I've looked into travel deals so it looks like I may be staying in the Riviera right on the strip! This would be an extended weekend trip. The conference is held at the Cosmopolitan, which is just down the road from the Riviera, so it is within walking distance. Also, now that I am going to be 21, I will be able to drink (if I choose to), but I will be able to gamble too!!! I don't plan on gambling a lot, but hey, when in Vegas. Haha. Anthony knows about the trip and I think he is excited for me, but I am sure he is nervous with me going to Sin City by myself. But, he has nothing to worry about. I am 100% loyal to him. Also, I'm going on business anyway. I wish he could come with me, but he will be in school. Of course in my mind, I made a joke about him surprising me there and us eloping lololol. =P I'll have to look into getting tickets to a show of some sort as well. I am just beyond excited because this opportunity is incredible and it sounds like an amazing experience. I am also excited to go to the conference itself and learn more about the field and the advances made within the past year. Speaking of the program, it is going well and I am loving it! I definitely made the right choice going to the school I picked instead of Anthony's school. I am excelling in all my classes so far and I think I will do amazing. These conferences will be an awesome chance to network too, so I can make myself known in the medical field and hopefully get offered a job upon graduation! =]
