As if we were in a scene from the movie Planes, Trains, & Automobiles. The journey alone to Kingston, Ontario was quite an adventure. Kelly, Kurtis, Nathan and I started our journey with a bright and early flight to Toronto at 5:30 in the morning – a good introduction to the lack of sleep the entire weekend was going to be. Once arriving in Toronto, we took a train the rest of the way to Kingston – this part was really exciting to me because I’ve never been on a train, and the entirety of the ride was alongside Lake Ontario, which is more like an ocean when compared to Wascana Lake...

I am going to preface this by bluntly saying that the Queen’s Conference on the Business Environment Today was one of the single greatest experiences of my university career. In turn, one of my biggest regrets of my entire university life is that I didn’t take the opportunities to go on more conferences.
