In order to get to this point...

The last week or so has almost been a blur. Last weekend was the last couple of days of the month, which meant the Legislature had to come to a budget agreement. In which case, I spent 36 hours straight at work last weekend. It ended up being completely exhausting, but I'm really glad that I did it. First, I got to witness history in the making (it seems to be my trend this year. See: UM vs. Appalachian State.) I also got to see a lot of stuff that helped me understand the process. More importantly, in my opinion, I was able to spend a lot of time with my fellow staff members. For me, it's been a pretty good experience, because I don't get to see them all that much, being in different offices and all.

Which brings me to this point. I've been living in Lansing for almost two years (it will be at the end of the month). In the last few months, I've finally started to feel as though my life is there. I've gotten involved in the Jaycees more, I've made more connections at work, and I actually have things to do in the Lansing area other than sit and watch TV in my apartment.

So, in general, things are going pretty well. I feel like things are busy, but that's been good for me. I don't do very well when I'm bored!
