Let's play catch up!

Okay, so I've already broken my new year's resolution by not blogging every day.  So, I will attempt to run through things since my last post.  Here we go!

The New Year was wonderful and I spent it with friends. I did manage to win a few games of Twister and Trivial Pursuit.  After all of that. I drove up to Washington, D.C. and stayed for the 57th Inauguration of President Obama! I was going to volunteer, but I was able to get a ticket so I was very happy.  It was so wonderful and it marks the second inauguration I've ever been too. Actually, I have been to both of President Obama's Inaugurations which makes sense because he is my President. I feel very strongly for him like many felt for President Kennedy back in the 1960s. I've been there supporting President Obama since the primaries and have stood beside him and will continue to do so until his term is done. I actually went to the parade this time and was on the U.S. Capitol Building lawn (unlike four years ago when I was standing at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services with my best friend).  It was so much warmer this time around and the lines at Starbucks took only ten minutes unlike an hour four years ago. The day after, I attended the DNC meeting and what a wonderful experience that was.  I always love seeing the faces of those that I've worked with in various campaigns and network with others to progress the Democratic cause. I even got to witness the re-election of Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz as the DNC Chairwoman. Oh I almost forgot, I was on CNN & CSPAN multiple times!!! I even saw Don Lemon 7 my idol - Anderson Cooper!!! :D
   Since returning to North Carolina, I've decided to hold off on Graduate school (I know, but I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life).  In fact, my current obstacle is whether I should keep working campaigns and issues, or go to either graduate or law school.  I know if I go to graduate school, I would want to obtain a MPA and if I go to law school, I would want to do either constitutional or human rights law.  In the meantime, I'm just studying for the GRE (yet again) and planning on taking it within the next three months.
   I guess I will go ahead and stop here and figure out what my next post will be about.  Although, now that I think about it, I have a few ideas. So, stay tuned....
