I served as ASR for the High Plains Region last year, but was elected at a regional conference, and as a result, I did not know what to expect once I got to New Orleans. \u00a0Initially, I was scheduled to leave Chadron on February 29th, but due to issues with the weather, my flight was delayed. I finally left Chadron early Thursday morning in a small propeller plane that held a maximum of roughly 20 people and had a short, but bumpy hour and a half flight to Denver International Airport. \u00a0I finally reached New Orleans at roughly 3:45 and had to reach the Marriott as soon as possible because the informal regional caucus was at 5:00. Thankfully, the airport shuttle driver got me to my destination without incident. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.english.org\/sigmatd\/events\/stories\/2012\/nmiller.shtml\">[Read More]<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>If you would like to submit your own convention story, please contact <a href=\"mailto:lbrandeberry@niu.edu\" target=\"_blank\">Lauren Brandeberry<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Nick Miller High Plains Associate Student Representative, 2011-2013 Chadron State College, Chadron, NE This was my first experience at a Sigma Tau Delta convention and to be honest, I was quite nervous.
