summer

So being that the semester recently ended, finished another round of finals, and spent the first few days of freedom properly intoxicated, I'm beginning to feel a bit restless. Seriously, my body can only take so much alcohol. I had a few summer cocktails this afternoon because the weather was just too nice and the deck was calling out names. My roommates and I sunned ourselves far too long, drank just a tad too much, and now I have a wicked headache. My apartment building is ungodly loud because my neighbors are still in party mode, but I? Am not. I want to go back to my hometown, where my parents are and my doggie. My sisteris in my neighborhood, and will miss her the most, and it's freaking awesome having her around, but I think it's time to head to higher altitude.

I put an Obama pin on my backpack roughly 4 days ago. Today, when I was walking back from class, this older woman stopped me to tell me how happy she is to see another Obama supporter. "Of course!" I said back to her, and then she continued, telling me about one of her co-workers who gives the impression of a conservative but is voting for Obama. Clearly, she was very excited about this, and the more I think about it, the more I think Barack may actually have a chance in this upcoming election. And as much as don't want to get my hopes up too high, even some of my "independent" friends are talking about voting for Barack, and actually taking an interest in this election. I cannot stress this enough, VOTE!! Just like I told one of my friends over the weekend, this election is too important not to care, especially when it's my generation on the line.
