It has been a while…

Well it has been a while since my last post mostly because we didn’t have internet at the Tech house for about 3 and a half weeks, and I couldn’t do this at work. It has been a long month, and so much to catch you up on. Well when I left you I had just gone to the White House Garden for a tour. The last couple of weeks of October and recess were great just normal stuff on the Hill and getting excited and some nervous about the Elections on Nov. 2^nd. The Hill at that point was kind of in a stand still waiting to see what happened and no Congressman really wanted to stir up anything before elections. Then November 2^nd rolls around and the Tech House was interested to see what happen in the Elections. We watched the results at home that night till about 1:30am when the House was officially taken over by the Republicans. It was an exciting next day on the Hill, for the Republican Party, you could just tell everyone was in a good mood, besides the Democrats. To see the news all day about the Elections was really neat, because we were right in the middle of it. It was awesome to see the things on National Television that were happening right next door. Also, in my office it was a good day because we will officially be called the Majority Committee on Agriculture in Jan. It will be an exciting time and the staff will be switching offices. To bad I will be leaving as soon as we get the bigger office. It was still great to be here during the Elections though. Now starting this week we are back in session. All of the Congressman came back into town and have started the lame-duck session. It has been a good week so far, on Monday it was like the first day of school here. The freshman congress came into town for freshman orientation this week and it was fun to help direct potential hill employees and congressman around the capitol grounds and buildings. Also something that happened recently I have started having visitors in town. My friend came into town last weekend and my parents are coming into town this weekend. I am so excited to show them the town and finally see both of my parents. This will be the first time since I left that I get to see them. I am planning on giving them the grand tour of everything. Thanks to some of my fellow roommates I have planned everything out. I will have to upload some photos from this weekend soon. All in all I am still loving it up here and enjoying my last month up here on Capitol Hill. I miss everyone and can’t wait to be back in Texas. Until next time…
