Since Stephanie had a class today, it's sort of been a guys day all day. Jake came over and we watched the first televised Twins game of the spring, and now I'm hanging out at his house with him, Pat, Matt and Nik playing Rock Band. Well, they're playing. I'm watching since I gave up video games for lent.

I am hoping that I will be able to hang out with this group more now that I'm done with school, and I hope that I can balance this group of friends with building on the fun I had at happy hour last night with coworkers. That might mean that I will have to go with the Hennepin County position, so that I will be less cut-off, but we'll talk to Dan about it and figure it out. I don't know if I'd really be more likely to take part in things if I were in Minneapolis than in Saint Paul, but it's something that I do think is important for me to consider. I really do want to make sure that I make an effort to be engaged with the people I'm working with, both for my secondment, and then later at the firm. But we'll see how things work out. It's not a clear decision on my part that I'd like to be in Hennepin, since it's further away, but it's also not that much of a greater bus commute, since I know the routes that will take me to Minneapolis, and I know at least some of the better food options in that area of town, as opposed to Saint Paul where as far as I know there simply aren't any. Although perhaps that would be a good thing from a financial perspective. Oh well; something to think about longer term, but I do believe that I'm leaning towards working in Hennepin county if I can manage it.
