Wednesday's Schedule

I'm sitting in the hotel eating breakfast and waiting for the next shuttle to the Convention Center. No personal pick-up from Julie or Mike for me this morning, but this will help me figure out how the shuttle works before I have to take it "for real" and have a serious deadline. This morning I need to go pick up my nametag and packet and registration. (Confession: I didn't bring my credentials card. This was very naughty of me, but I stuck it in a binder I thought I would be bringing to Conference, and then while packing, I decided not to bring that binder but forgot the all-important document was there. Oops. There is a booth just for delegates who don't have credentials {maybe the line will be shorter!}, so I'll take my passport there and beg forgiveness and mercy.) So, the first item of business when I arrive at the Convention Center will be registering. At 12, I have the orientation for Women Delegates. 3 is the Orientation for Young People, which I'll be attending as a delegate but will also be introduced as a YPA speaker. After the Orientation, we will be running through our full Address in a self-rehearsal (we won't be in the Arena with tech at all). The rest of the team then gets to go to dinner, but I have to go right to Opening Worship. Luckily I got lots of bagels yesterday at Panera, so I have lunch and dinner. After Opening Worship is our first plenary; we'll be taking care of setting the bar, the rules of order, etc. Most of it will be fairly routine. And then I get to come home and go to bed...but soon, my lazy mornings are going to be gone, and I'll be getting up early and going to bed late...and I can't wait!
