AIDS Conference 2006 continued
It's Day 4 of the International AIDS Conference in Toronto.
To be honest, the last 4 days have been overwhelming for me. I feel intellectually stimulated by all the research that is going on about the topic of HIV/AIDS, as well as hearing the issues from the people infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS. It's incredible to see the mass number of people who are dedicated to erradicating the illness. This is the first conference I have been to where I feel surrounded by people who are fighting for the same thing that I am.
What really inspired me yesterday was the response to the research poster I had on display at the poster exhibit. I had many nurse educators and interested health professionals come and talk to me about the study I conducted for my Master's thesis. The study was very well received, and the audience were excited to find out when and where I would be publishing the study. I felt very inspired by their enthusiasm, and I'm hoping it served as the push I needed to complete my degree.
I have so many more things to write about the conference, but I'm tired and desperately need sleep. I will write more on the weekend.

Hi Shannon,
Just got back from the Bordeleau cottage last evening. We have been thinking of you and wondering how things are going at the Aids Conference. I am sure you are doing great. The Baptism went great, Alexei was a perfect little Angel! And your little Godson is a real ham - what a funny litte guy! We will miss Shaun and Karoline's party as we are heading up to Sauble for a week. Good Luck with the rest of the week!
Love A Shawnna
