Yes we did.
Last night, Dad and I were driving home from work when we heard the news.
Obama flipped Ohio.
I was up until one in the morning watching history unfold. But it was those three simple words that really made me feel like part of something amazing. I voted at around 9 o'clock Tuesday morning along with lots of grumpy old people from my precinct who didn't know how to get the machine to take their ballots. And also my parents who were less old, less grumpy, and more or less got the machine to work. Even though it was my first presidential election, and I knew it was potentially earth-shaking election, it didn't feel particularly dramatic. I had no idea that filling in that little oval could feel so fulfilling. But as I watched them color Ohio blue on the map, I realized that something phenomenal was going on here.
We sat in front of the television and watched them discuss and theorize, watched the intricate graphics that probably took an obscene number of man-hours, and I don't think I'm ever going to forget watching the countdown tick down the last ten seconds to history. The screaming, the crying, this celebration and hope that America can and will change. I sincerely hope we can hold on to the image we cast on the world last night.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the grace of McCain's concession speech. It was disappointing that a moment of such sincere, humble gratitude was marred by boos and anger on
the crowd's part. It was a striking contrast of graceful acceptance and immaturity.
This is the only time in my life I can ever remember feeling so strongly that my own tiny contribution was part of something far bigger and far greater than myself. I am so thrilled and anxious to see what kind of change the next 4 (+!) years are going to bring, because this morning I feel we have potential the likes of which could move mountains.
I'm proud to say, I voted Obama in 08!

Recipe for Disaster
Step one.
"Oh, sure guys, I'll take BIOS 206 with you. I mean, I'm no good at biology but it should be fun to suffer through our natural sciences credits together.
Step two.
"Well, I mean...my grade on the first test wasn't that bad, I should have to study too much harder for the second one."
Step three.
"Hmm...I have a test in three hours. I haven't even read two of the chapters it's over. But that's okay, I mean I'm going to fail anyway. I probably won't fail TOO epic-ly."
Step four.
"Err...well, I guessed on ninety percent of these questions. There's no point in re-reading them. It seems weird that I finished that test in ten minutes, but I'm sure I'm not giving myself enough credit. I mean...educated guesses will get me SOME points at least."
I am chastising myself so heavily right now that I'm not even sure I should be blogging, it'll just come out sounding like a bunch of self-loathing mopery. Is it an appropriately strong reaction to want to crawl in a hole and drop out of school just because I might not make the Dean's List this quarter? Maybe I should do the math first. I mean, I can't possibly get like...worse than a C in that class as long as I retake the first two tests. And he won't let us retake the final or anything, but I DO have my online quiz grades to consider and I'll just promise myself to study super-hard for the final and maybe I can continue my "have never gotten below a B- in a college course" streak.
What have we learned, children?
Don't take a class you know you'll do poorly in just because your friends are taking it too.
and more importantly,
Don't underestimate your own capacity for failure.

Only in the linguistics department...
Could you hear the following snatch of conversation:
"I'm thinking of getting a tattoo of a blank syntax tree."
"Ohmigosh, that would be SO COOL!"
Linguistics majors are some seriously awesome folks. ^_^

Dear Blog,
I would like to extend my deepest apologies for neglecting you lately. You see, I've been wildly busy since classes started two weeks ago.
Child Psych has been fun, and homework-free until midterm time. 20th Century French Lit is one of the tougher French classes I've taken, but I'm keeping my head above water for now. Drugs and the Brain would be a total disaster except that Cat and Kristin are slogging through it with me. In Linguistics, we're making our own language, which is totally my kind of thing. It should be fun.
And from classes, straight to work. Five shifts a week plus training. For what, might you ask? Yours truly has been promoted to "student manager in training." In other words, what time I don't spend in class belongs to Jefferson Hall. I flip dressings, I sling roast beef, I learn to cut up a honeydew in four minutes flat, then I go home, eat a (la-a-a-te) dinner, take a shower, do my homework, go to sleep, wake up, and do it all over again.
As you might imagine, this doesn't leave a ton of time for blogging.
So you see, blog, the quantity of my posts here is going to suffer. On the other hand, I'm going to have plenty to write about when I do write. I've got classes that I'm still mostly enjoying, I'm climbing the ladder at work, I get to hang with Sam and Clare, Cat and Kristin, I've got a French class full of Avignon buddies, and even though I'm not spending as much time at home doing nothing as I'd like to, I think I'm learning to deal with it.
It's called Saturday.
Guitar Hero, Pirates of the Caribbean, and blogging. Pretty much the furthest thing from class and work I can manage. Yay!
So anyway, blog, that's why I'm not going to be writing quite as much as I'd initially thought. But so long as there's a soul or two out there reading this, I'll do all I can to keep writing. If for no other reason than to keep from letting class and work drive me totally insane. So I guess even if nobody reads this, I'll still be writing. Woo! Hooray for projecting my experiences and ideas out into an endless void that seldom offers a word of response! *dances*
Guess that's about it for now. Ttfn, Ima go dance now.

Home Again, Home Again
Well, I have caved. That's right, folks, I set up a post-France blog. And despite a slight aversion to blogging like the world cares, I know a couple of you might stop by every now and then. My life may not be as interesting now that I'm home from France, but I'm gonna write like it is. To start, here is a quiz that I stole from Cat. Because I like pirating other peoples' quizzes and pretending that people are going to read them. But this is the abridged version of the quiz because that thing was freakin' long.
1. Do you like the person you are becoming?
I do. Hope I can keep that going.
2. Do you currently find yourself to look cute?

7. Do lectures bore you?
Anything bores me if it drags on long enough, but generally they don't.

30. What annoys you most about facebook?
People adding you as their "friend" because you had a lecture hall class with them once and they want to message you to ask for the notes from class today because they are lazy bums who cut classes and then mooch notes off the responsible people-pleasers who just can't find a good reason to say no, but then grumble about it for a couple quarters afterward even though they will never see so-called "friend" ever again.
31. Is there anybody that you trust 100%?
Heck no.
32. Are you satisfied with your life right now?
Actually yeah, for the most part I am. Wow. Cool.
