\"\"Well you know they say all good things must come to some kind of ending<\/em><\/p>\n

~ Christian Kane<\/em><\/p>\n

How can it be the end of the week already?\u00a0 It seems like we all just arrived here, and yet here we are all backing up our carry-ons and suitcases and heading our separate ways, letting the ocean carry us off in different directions.<\/p>\n

I never expected this to be as incredibly enjoyable as it has been. You picture business conferences as structured, perhaps slightly stuck up affairs, with proper language and suits and ties. This couldn\u2019t have been more opposite to that. From beginning to end it was one big joyful babble of new ideas and new toys (some of which I am not permitted to discuss) and collaboration that you couldn\u2019t help but get swept up in. I am pretty sure that by the end of today we had long forgotten who was \u201cthe boss\u201d and who wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The take away is that there are a lot of amazing things coming. Some of which I cannot wait<\/em> to get my hands on. This conference alone has sold me on the idea of the early access insider program. I am not waiting to start playing with some of this. And some of that stuff we\u2019re going to get to teach to others, and some of it is going to make a huge difference to those people and that is beyond awesome. I have hardware in my pocket that\u2019s potentially going to fix some of the ongoing issues with the ship that I\u2019m currently on classroom wise, and I have new classes to plan and look forward to.<\/p>\n

But mostly\u2026for a week I wasn\u2019t just the weird girl who carried the files. This week taught me something else: I can fit in. I didn\u2019t know that, I seriously didn\u2019t. I somewhat thought I\u2019d forgotten how, but this week recaptured something I thought I\u2019d left behind when I walked off my university campus for the last time. And that alone \u2013 setting aside all the other brilliant parts of the last few days \u2013 would have been worth the plane ride<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
