I am here in Albany, NY at the Empire Conference. This is my first time attending. I was optimistic about this conference. Day 1 is almost over and I am disappointed. There were 2 workshops today that I was very interested in attending. "Privilege of passing" and "Male Privilege for Trans-Masculine people". Unfortunately BOTH of these workshops were cancelled and they were the only 2 workshops that I wanted to attend. Everything else on the program to me was kind of "blah" because either I have done the exact same presentation before OR it just wasn't something interesting enough for me to want to sit in a room and talk about it for an Hour and a half.
Since those workshops were cancelled I decided to go to the pool and swim off my stress. Well guess what... The pool is closed for maintenance! Now I am hoping this is temporary because earlier in the day the pool was open and the water looked inviting. The pool is beautiful. The pool being closed don't help my mood.
Lunch was a little disappointing but I ate a BIG breakfast late in the morning so it was fine.
The day isn't done yet so we will see hopefully it gets better. I will keep you all posted!
