My day consisted of mostly just watching the appropriation committee meeting. which lasted the entire day. During the second half of the day nothing much happened in this meeting, the different chairs of the different committees were explaining their part of the proposed budget. Lunch was fun, a local lobbying 
firm held a lunch social for the members of the house and senate. It wasn’t until after lunch where the meeting got more interesting. Now it was the time for Reps. to propose amendments to the budget. This was where most of the debate and questioning came into play.
