I had a lot of fun on Halloween this year. I was sick and missed some of the festivities (include a 5k I told a student I would run), but made it out to 1 party at least. I was dressed as the runaway bride, which fits my state of mind quite well right now. My state of mind being: single is good. Anyway, I had an amazing time.
For class last Thursday, I dressed up as well. I went as my weekend self – complete with sweatpants, a t-shirt and a baseball hat. Some of the students actually thought it was funny. Class was more relaxed than usual…might have been something about the way I was dressed. Or the $16 of candy that I passed out. The first class thanked me profusely…2nd class – not at all! Seriously, they need to be grateful for things like that – especially since I spent $16 when I hadn't gotten paid yet that month. Still, class was fun…probably b/c I talked about I/O stuff…way too much. Didn't even finish it, have to finish it tomorrow.
Planning on voting tomorrow – thinking 9am might be a good time. Most people have to be at work by then, so the lines may not be as long. However, I do have to be in my office at 11am…so if there is a huge line I'll have to come back after I'm done teaching. Which would be around 5pm. Which probably means I should bring a lawn chair (hmm, don't own one) 'cause it's going to be a long night. Or I could be surprised- everyone could have voted already. What's up with the early voting? How does that work? Not that I could put this to use for this election…but in the future.
And it will finally be over!!! The 2 years of campaigning, negative ads, annoying phone calls…no longer after tomorrow. Yay!!!
I'm quite sad that Barack Obama's grandmother died just a day before the election. She helped raise him and for her to see him be elected president…that would have been awesome. Hopefully, the rest of us will see Barack Obama win the election tomorrow!!! And may his grandmother rest in peace.
