we barROCKED the vote!

i was so nervous... and then it happened.
obama indeed is our next president and i was thankful that our nation made the right choice. i am so excited to see him as a president. he is going to face some MAJOR challenges but he'll handle it.


as for the propositions, we'll have to wait for the complete count so i'll check it in the morning.

i've had a long day with classes starting at 7:30am and covering the forensics event, election night spectacular which went from 6:30 to around 9. there were debates on prop2 and prop7&10 which didn't amuse me very much. the speakers were not prepared since they did not know any information beyond the 3-5 line description in the general election booklet. a lot of their arguments sounded like last minute bs. maybe it's because i've seen some really great forensics stuff in the previous semesters, i had high expectations. i did enjoy a reader's theatre performance. it was about people moving to canada to escape the rule of bush haha. it was very entertaining and it saved the event. there was a great turnout- the seats were all full and people were standing against the walls. it was held in the stage area of 9c, the student life center, so it's a big space. about half left after the performances were over because they were there to get extra credit for their speech classes.

after that, i went to the measure rr celebration in their office by stater bros. with carmichael and freddy. mostly adults were there, such as the school's board of trustees and some other school faculties. some people who worked for measure rr were there as well. there were plenty of food, so i replenished myself there. i ran into a lot of people i knew and met the director of media and community at mt. sac. her name is jill and she was so kind- she said that she still knew a lot of photogs from her days as a journalist and if i ever needed her help, she'll be glad to assist. yay!

today was a GRRREAT day...except for my history test that i got back today

but OBAMA won and that's all i really could have asked from today.
