Uh, yeah, so Obama is the country's first black president. And that's great, but it occurs to me that South Africa which had been run by an Apartheid government since 1948 elected its first black president 14 years ago! And if you're not familiar with apartheid, it's basically the polar opposite of democracy! Why are we so backward?
All that doesn't matter now, because Barack kicked butt. Last I checked McCain was stuck at 156 votes and Obama rose from 280+ to 333! Seems to me that with these kind of numbers, not only did people who didn't vote before vote, but perhaps people that previously voted republican changed their minds this year! Either way, Oh, yeah, we kicked butt. And by WE I mean ANYONE that was hoping and praying for the change that Obama promised and more than likely will bring about in DC.

School
It is now almost official. I am going back to school in January. I sat down with an academic councilor to discuss which classes I will be taking. My major will be liberal arts. I will receive an Associates Degree in liberal arts and then transfer to Old Dominion University for a degree in English (creative writing emphasis) with a minor in communications. I will get at least a baccalaureate, but I'm hoping to get into the accelerated Master's program. It's not too bad. You just take 4 or 5 classes that are at the 400 level, but they can also be counted for 500 level. That way, when you've earned your bachelor's degree, you have less classes to take to earn you Master's.
I will be taking Math 240 (statistics), Bio 101, Public Speaking, and Psychology 201. I'm so excited. Not so much about the classes, but just going back in general. And I'm not taking any of these courses online. I'm going to go to a real class with real students and real teachers. Did you know that you can take Public speaking online? Does that make any sense to you?
Oh, yeah. I've also cut all of my hair off. I love my hair short. I haven't cut it all off since March of 2005. I was determined to grow it long, but all I managed to do was have a whole bunch of damaged hair from perming. It looked so aweful when I went to the hair dresser. Now most of the damaged hair is gone. I think that I might wear a mohawk like I did the last time I cut it this short!
