SO this past weekend i, along with 11-12 other senators, had the pleasure to experience the annual senate budget meeting. it started on friday night at 7 and went to 12. after the long five hours we went out to vent and wind down at Eden's Mediterranean. in bed by 2:30, woke up at 7:48 a.m. to realize that i needed to be at the school at 8. what then proceeded was 16 hours of listening to clubs and cutting budgets. fun. i find the budget meeting always interesting because this is the first opportunity where the members on senate get to see each other in their best and worst attitudes and moments. whether it was being flat-out told by a club leader that they are trying to milk senate for money, to having a full out argument over other clubs, to laura standing on a chair and yelling to regain the floor, to katrina staring blankly into space with her hands on her head on the verge of a break down, to the endless quotes, to laura having another little breakdown over a coffee bean that was thrown across the room - honestly, she started laughing uncontrollably, which then turned to crying, which then turned into her leaving the room to regain control of herself -, in the end we had a lot of good laughs and fun. here's to the hope that we may continue to have a great year!
