Just waiting for break (Not Much Going On)

I was sick with the flu and a good friend came to the rescue and went to get meds and soup and such. And then, Monday before elections, I went to a really great rally at the Mon County headquarters and everything seemed awesome and we were filled with hope. It was also the last day I was able to see the people I became so close to over the months here leading up to the elections and it was bittersweet. Then, Tuesday it turned sour for us, but I won't get into that or I will never stop typing! For West Virginia, things weren't as bad. For the first time in 80 years, WV elected a Republican Attorney General, Patrick Morrisey, and got rid of Darrel McGraw. Although many of the races we hoped to sweep up did not go our way, this was a huge step in the RIGHT direction. On election day, I worked for nine hours. I finished out the week with tired eyes and a heavy heart. I worked Friday. Saturday, and Sunday. I worked today (Tuesday). I feel as though I have nothing to look forward to here any longer, now that all the excitement and doing big things is over. So, I am patiently awaiting Thanksgiving break, which is only like 3 days away, yet feels so far off. I am excited to take a break from this new world and recuperate at my home in my room in my futon. Things will get back into full swing soon, but the semester will end even sooner. It's getting close and without a hitch. So far, it looks as if I will survive my first semester of college with good grades, many accomplishments, a great job, and a few sort-of friends. But, most of all with the knowledge that I CAN handle anything and I will handle everything as smoothly as I have been. I will have another blog on Thanksgiving. Honestly, not much has been going on. I'm kind of on idle, sleep-deprived, and driven by a will to be back "where everybody knows my name". :)
