This past weekend I was in Kingston, Ontario at Queen's University for their annual DECA invitational conference. All in all, it was a very fun experience, and although DECA U is ridiculously smaller in size compared to DECA back in high school, it allowed all the delegates from every University to get to know each other personally. Despite the six hour bus ride from Western to Queen's, we still managed to make it on time for the wine and cheese mixer on Friday night. Later that night, we wrote our written exams and went out to the Ale House Bar/Club afterwards. The rest of the weekend consisted of oral competitions, semi-formal dinner at University Club followed by casino night, and intense conversations between delegates at each school. The battle between the business schools (Ivey/Schulich/Rotman) seemed to be a never-ending topic, especially amongst the boys. In the end, it was a good weekend, and as much as I'm down with the WESTERN PRIDE, Queen's really did impress me.
On another note, my roomie and I went on a HUGE shopping spree yesterday and we also watched Twilight. Exams are nearing so soon and I'm dreading them, but ironically, so is my birthday. I think this is the first year I haven't started counting down to my birthday, but really, I don't think I'll be doing anything special. It'll be my first low-key birthday in years, and I think I'm fine with that :)
