Election Craziness

Although I claim it to be a waste of time to follow the election predictions and updates as they progress, I can't say much more for myself than the fact that it's 1:39 am and I'm not sleeping, but rather playing facebook and checking up on the elections. So... I guess my opinions on the matter don't count now. Why is it that I become so addicted to things so easily? i.e. Election polls on TV, Facebook, AIM (more last year than this), Anything BUT homework. At least I've stumbled across the amazing "William H. Gates Law Building" containing the most amazing and addicting library EVER. I mean just going in there makes you want to study. However I don't think that is any coincidence- I'm pretty sure it was in the $88 million plan for the building. Whatever. So now you have to come witness the bookshelves that move by pressing a button if you havn't already.




I mean just look at this building... Its amazing!

After learning in my math section today that I need to start going to class again, I rode the 271 home in order to cast my Go Kerry/Boo Bush vote at Sammamish High School. Consider Sammamish is my alma matter, I decided to look at the remodeling and say hi to a few teachers. It was AMAZING. Sammamish High School is absolutely gorgeous! I was fortunate to get to go into the state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar theater while it was still under construction and it was awesome! I probably would have even gone to a play while in high school if that theater was there! After bumming a ride home off of my friend's little brother so that I wouldn't have to walk the extra mile, I grubbed on mini oreos and many other unhealthy goodies and packed my self up to catch the bus back in time for my 6:30 physics lab.

I honestly felt like the biggest hobo ever coming back to school. So picture this: I was wearing my backpack, carrying a soccer bag full of more stuff, carrying a sleeping bag in this nasty sleeping bag sack over my shoulder, and wearing my new Hobo gloves. The only thing that would have made me more of a hobo would have been if I were carrying all of my bags in black plastic bags. I pretty much could have picked a place on campus and slept there for the night- not that this would have been a new thing for UW (hobo's sleeping/walking around campus).

Well its been a long night and CNN still reports that it's all too close to call. So far Bush is ahead 254 to 252 in the electoral votes. Hopefully the remaining states will pull though. WE NEED A REVOLUTION!
