Getting in the rhythm

The more and more time that I spend at the Senate, the more I learn. I've noticed that things are getting more serious as session goes along, today was one of the first official days where bills were passed on the floor. One bill I found particularly interesting was the new "bath salts" bill, which declares certain kinds of bath salts as a harmful drug. Every bill proposed was unanimously accepted by most senators, with few individual statements. I have comfortably settled into my work here, and I'm getting to know everyone better and better with every day that passes. The last few shifts have been pretty laid-back, but my supervisor informs me that as session goes on it will get crazier and everyone will need to be on their toes. I don't view that as a bad thing, I view it as a good opportunity to learn more here at the Senate.

  1. Travis, glad to hear you are settling in at the Senate. Jenna is right that the session does get busier, and will go by very fast. You will learn a lot and every day will be different. Soak it all in!
