Like promised for quite a while now, the Assembly session has come to an end. It was not a surprise to any of us who watched the calender quite closely – June 21 , 2007 just came one day after another closer and closer. It just seemed to come too fast, and I was too absorbed into the day to day work of the Assembly to really seriously figure out what I was going to be doing today and for the rest of my life.

While I still don't know what I will do for the rest of my life, at least professionally, i know where I will start today. I am going to start calling dozens of places and trying to set up interviews for next week – both in the public and the private sector. I honestly do not know if I will continue working in government, but that is certainly one place I will apply. Is that truly my calling? I am not sure.

I have enjoyed working for the Assembly over the past six months. Yet, somehow I miss working in the private sector, and then spending my free time advocating for the causes that I care deeply about. I at least feel more restrained and tied down working for the Assembly. There are many causes that I feel strongly about, but running afoul of ethics laws advocating for them even on my free time.

More seriously though is legislative work is tiring for me. Somehow just spending all this time at work doing politics, makes me less interested about doing them on the side. Maybe off-session things are different, but lately I haven't had the time or desire to spend lots of time to doing politics. Petitioning and getting out the word about candidates just seems less fun after a day at work discussing politics.

Regardless, I refuse to make my occupation my life. I enjoy being out on the streets and doing politics, and getting out the word about the issues that matter to me. I love to write, and someday I hope to have a loving family and the farm I often write about here on the blog. I may not know where I am going tomorrow, but I know it won't effect my dreams or my ultimate plans.
