Once a month

I'll do my best.

Okay, so... Obama won the election. He's gonna save the universe. Just as soon as he jacks in and beats Smith. Wait, wrong The One.

But seriously. I'm rather happy he's gonna be our president. We've got a majority in Congress too. We'll see, but I'm looking forward to a good 4 (or 8) years. I voted for the first time on Tuesday. It was exciting. I shuttled over with some friends and stood in line for like 10 minutes I got to the front. The lines were really short at 2:30 or so. After we all voted, everyone was like "fuck, what if I accidentally voted wrong, or what if I filled in the bubble wrong, or what if..." which was ridiculous, but entertaining. Then Katie was majorly stressing out for the rest of the day. She kept freaking out, saying "I know he's SUPPOSED to win, but what if he DOESN'T!?" And when Kentucky came in she was like "NO, HE'S AHEAD!" It was terrible. Most people in the lounge watched Stewart and Colbert's Indecision special, which was hilarious. After Virginia went blue, but before they told us, Stewart segued into it by mentioning that he went to William and Mary, and the lounge went crazy. It only got louder when we found out we went blue. Then Tom used it as an excuse to get hugs from girls. Fuckin' creeper. He's convinced everyone loves him and desperately desires his company, when in reality, almost everyone in the building can't stand him. Bleh, he's so annoying. Oh well.

Let's see... what else is important. Not much. I've got a Worlds of Music exam to study for, and it's driving me crazy. I just finished the study guide, and I've been working on it since 5. Next semester I'm taking Psych as a Social Science, Calc 2, Data Structures, and Music and Politics. I'm gonna have classes starting at 11 every day of the week. It's gonna suck. I love my sleeping in :D. But I'll live (I guess... maybe). I've taken to doing homework in comp sci instead of spacing out. Far more productive. Definitely no need to pay attention though. ESPECIALLY when talking about exceptions AFTER doing the lab on it. Her organizational skills are just incredible.

Matt's band Chase the Fall is playing at Virginia Beach next weekend. I've heard them play acoustically and without drums, and their sound is good, but their lyrics are baaaaad. Like, I listen to it, and I just can't believe my ears. I've only heard them play once, so I can't remember specific examples. But it's basically the most cliche generic lyrics you can imagine. Whenver I here them play, I think about how entertaining it would be to listen to with Aleina. She's tear them apart. Oooh, I just remembered something the lead singer said (wasn't in the song, but it was still really funny). He introduced their song, something about a looking glass, and he was like "This song is about looking at yourself in the mirror, examining yourself, about self-inflection." And Sean was like "That's like, the pronounciation of the word 'self'." He went on to sing a song about different ways to pronounce "self". It was hilarious.

I need to get back to studying. Here's November. You should probably remind me at the beginning of December, because I may forget if you don't.
