I’M GOING!

Yep, Sherbrooke (where I’m studying Politics at Bishop’s University) is a mere two-hour drive from Montréal. I’ll be attending with the Bishop’s University Conservative Students’ Association and there’s quite a bit of us going. This is going to be my first-ever conference of the kind and I’m extremely excited. I need to pack up my stuff and get my suit ready for tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted and maybe will put some pictures up here on KR when I get back on Sunday.

I hope I’ll meet many of you guys from the conservative blogging community there!

Have a nice weekend! (I know I will!)
