The Rush Home

I was so excited to come home today. I was just ready for a change of pace, and some down time to get prepared for finals. As my day started I was ready to get going, I woke up went to class, grabbed a bite to eat and went back to my room. 

When I got back to my room I had to pack everything up, print my boarding pass, get prepared for my test all in a matter of one hour!  As I attempted to get everything done it was a mad dash! I was running around trying not to forget anything... ID, yes! purse, yes! computer, yes! I figured if I had all of these things I would be set to go. 

As my hour came to it's end I grabbed my book bag and ran to go take my test. As I was about to take my test I took a deep breathe and tried to focus for that 50 minutes. I finished my test! It was a great success and so I proceeded to briskly walk back to my room to grab my luggage and catch my Super Shuttle to take me to the airport. I was so excited walking back into the dorm, I ran up to my door and to my dismay I realized I had locked my key in my room! Out of all the times to leave my room key today would be the day, I was so shocked and irritated!

I started to frantically run up to every RA's door trying to get someone to open my door! As I was running around of course I received a bunch of calls asking me, "Hey are you outside and ready?"  This stressed me out so much! 

Then thankfully I remembered that I could go to Virginia Snider! This was the best thought I had all day!  

Right when I thought of this I dropped my book bag by my door, darted down the stairs, out the door, across the boulevard  and into the glorious doors of Virginia Snider. I had never been happier to see those doors. Once I was there I signed the necessary papers and darted out of there as fast as possible. When I got back I  grabbed my luggage, dropped it by the curb and run back to return the key. 

The catastrophe was finally over, and I was able to sit on the bench outside of Boaz and just enjoy the thoughts of being home. 

Election and The Unbelievable

I was on Facebook.com the other day, you know checking my notifications and messages. As I looked to the left of my page I saw one of my friend’s had updated their status. It had a link attached to it and it had to do with the election, so I decided to take a look at it. To my surprise it wasn’t a video but a recording from the Howard Stern radio show. As I started to listen to the absurd recording I became sick to my stomach. 

The radio station sent people out into Harlem to interview people on what they thought about the election. They asked whom they were voting for and why they were voting for them. But the radio station added a little twist to the whole thing and asked them questions that didn’t really match up. For example, they asked, “ If Obama wins the election would you be okay with Sarah Palin being his vice president?” After hearing this I thought ‘alright this is so funny obviously they know that Palin is not running with Obama, but to my dismay the interviewees responded with a “No it doesn’t bother me at all that he is running with a woman.” You have got to be kidding me! Hearing this literally made me cringe. 

It didn’t end there, oh no it didn’t, they went on to ask these people in Harlem “What views do you like that that Obama presents?” Now we have to remember that the interviews tricked the interviewees, by presenting all of McCain’s views as Obama’s.  When the interviewees were asked about the Obama’s pro-life argument they replied with a “Yes I am all about pro-life.” This isn’t even what Obama believes or supports! If someone is going to vote they need to take it very seriously. Our nation lets people exercise their right to vote and this is definitely an important aspect of our nation, but when people vote and have no idea what points they are supporting or refuting  it is so aggravating!
