Election Day has come and gone, leaving much despair in the state and the federal government. I don't think people realize what they've done. At the state level, they've created a gridlock. It's very interesting to me that the House went Dem but the Senate retained Republican Majority. Does this have something to do with the difference in districting between the House and Senate? For instance, the Senator I work for re-elected him, a Republican. In the house, the re-elected the two republicans, but also a Democrat. It really just doesn't make sense to me. Nothing is going to be accomplished this term, unless the politicians really learn to put aside their moral differences and really work together. I always thought politics was about making change and working to make the lives of the constituents better, but my experience in the legislature has been eye opening and partisanism, to me, is the greatest hinderance facing America today. This is why I don't identify myself with either party. I vote for the candidate who I believe will do the best job, regardless of their party affiliation. I know what I'm saying isn't making much sense to you, but it does to me.
My boss is running for Senate Majority Leader; elections are on Tuesday. If everything goes according to plan, we could be moving our office to the Capitol Building soon. It's very exciting, but at the same time, I'm not getting my hopes up so I won't be disappointed. Not that I will be disappointed, he's still an amazing guy and I'm blessed to be working for him, but I think you get what I'm saying.
I'm exhausted. I'm ready for the semester to be over. It's totally kicking my ass. But I'm allowed one bad semester, right?
I got my hair cut again today. All of the blonde is officially gone. I'm having a hard time adjusting to my natural color again. It's much prettier than I remember it being, but it is very dark. I find it stunning, but it's still strange to look in the mirror. It makes me look different... older perhaps? I don't know... I like it, but I'm still adjusting.
Tomorrow is my brother's going away party. He's been sent to Afghanistan for a year with his Army Unit. We're all scared of what could happen, but I'm glad I get to spend a little time with him before he goes. Please keep him and our family in your thoughts and prayers.
I guess that's all for now. I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open. G*night
