Say what?

I meant to write about this the day I did it, but I've been busy with watching The Biggest Loser and what not. I voted in my FIRST Presidential election last week. I early vote because the genius that made up our voting districts decides to send me across a major highway 15 miles from my house, when there is two, 2, TWO! places to vote not three miles from my house, ON THE SAME ROAD! Anyways, so a friend of mine and I early voted. I am 21 years old, and this was my first major election to vote in! It was quite exciting. I voted the day early voting started. I watched the debates, and countless stories on Fox news, and I hope this is going to be a tighter election than what they are predicting. I had a very nice conversation with the lady in front of me in line, she had to be at least 75 and she said she was so glad to see "you young people" out voting. She said she had voted in most elections since she was able to vote. So, I guess my message is GO VOTE! Age does not matter, if you are registered VOTE. Don't complain about who gets elected if you do not. This is one of the most dramatic presidential elections because of what our country has been through in the past few years. It's a very simple thing that can persuade your future more than you think.

back... in black.

so, a friend of mine who actually got me started on this blogging business... well we both had stopped blogging for quite some time because we both have had very very very busy schedules. well.. i saw that she was back, and was once again inspired to blog... again. :) so here we go...

i feel like i can't get enough sleep. most of my nights (and some days) are filled with school, work and studying. I hate it. However, after this semester (and we can only hope that i pass everything), I will only have 21 more hours until I graduate. And most of those classes will be minor courses. (YEA!) So, I will not graudate in may because 21 hours is just too much, It will be next december, but that means I will be a college graduate in a year, and who is not thrilled with that kind of news!! This semester is quite tough. Monday's I work, then leave early to make it to my night class at 6 which is International Business. I have 2 great friends that have an apartment in where I go to school, and agreed to let me stay with them on monday nights so i do not have to drive back to home when i have class the next morning. Tuesdays and Thursdays are 9:30 - MIS (a computer class, i hate excel and access) 11:00 - Intro to Finance (i took the hard finance first, and passed, go me) 12:30 - Economic Forecasting... ... ... which is as exciting as it sounds. it's a very tough glass with a foreign teacher... but things are going ok so far. And then on thursday nights I have Operations Management. and somewhere in between all that I work 3 1/2 days a week, and find time to study. I'm ready to be a grown up.
