Ay, there's the rub... The single reason why I have not yet attended qep'a' 
is money. I'm a full-time university student, living at home with my 
parents, and my part-time job brings me around A$6,000 a year, of which 
nearly two-thirds goes to paying for uni. Add to that the fact that I live 
in Australia, so airfares to the US cost a little under five months' income 
for me. When I finish university and am comfortably in a full-time job (i.e. 
one that pays me enough), that's the year I will be at qep'a'.

IOW, it's not for lack of desire that I don't attend. If I could afford it, 
I would be there.
