Now that I have all this free time...

Ah, another MUN conference over. This marks the end of my Board of Trustee term, and I must admit that I am so relieved. I have dedicated 10 years to volunteering for this organization (3 of which have been on the Board). I think that is enough. I used to think that Mr. Bebout was crazy for his "10 and out" slogan. Today, I agree. It is time to go. I began to think of what I could do for the organization. I realized that I don't want to chair a committee. I did that this weekend and it is difficult to go back to that after being behind the scenes running the show. Plus, I don't want to be put out to pasture as some other past Board members have. And...I don't want to throw bombs at the board for what I think they do wrong. Especially with the new additions that will be joining the board. So, I have decided to take some time off. I am going to use my free time to be with my husband and concentrate on school.

I may also look at volunteering my time elsewhere. Maybe even start my own non-profit.

Anyway, the conference was good. Things went off without a hitch as they always do. My job is done here. It was worth the trinkets....I think.

It is somewhat rewarding, and also expected, to knowthat I was right, yet again.
