What a long day.

Today I went to the capitol to lobby to keep the state grant. I didn't get to talk to my rep. or senator because they were both in session, but I got to talk to a few others. I also watched a little bit of each session. It bothers me that they don't pay any attention. They don't seem to be working hard. They sit on the phone or online or just talk while others speak. They don't allow for real discussion or give the opportunity to change their minds. It's ridiculous. Then there was the first rep. we talked to. She's not on the education committee, so she just gets all her advice from the rep. whose office is next to her's... and that rep. isn't even on the higher ed. committee; she's on the K-12 committee.

After getting back I got to hang out with Katie a bit. I haven't gotten to talk to her all week, so that was nice.

After dinner I got some unpleasant news... frustrating news.

Then there was a TEC meeting, which was awesome. I'm so excited for this weekend!

Then I got some sad news.

I'm going to be doing all kinds of praying this weekend. It's going to be good.
