Since coming back to Canada I am continuously having timing conflicts with events that are important to me. Not that there are non-stop events but just, the things I want to do always happen to be scheduled in pairs. A networking event and a concert on the same night. A Halloween party and a tournament the same weekend. Another tournament and a conference on another weekend. Dinner with some people or going to a movie with others.

Okay that’s probably about it. My social calendar is not exactly full.

But the killer one came yesterday when I found out they are doing belt tests on the evening of December 19th - the night I fly back to Regina for the holidays. They only do them every 3 months. I really want to do that test. Badly. Cost of changing my flight to the next day: $127.something something. Is it worth it? I feel like it would be, but money is tight.
