Tuesday, November 02, 2004 How long must I wait, to get a drink in this place?
I waited for over an hour to vote this morning. Which I would have rather done than be at work. Is that a bad thing? It's a good thing that I wore my really really comfortable pointy-toed, high-heeled, perfect-for-standing-in-line boots. No craziness at my polls. Although I was reminded what a liberal side of town Royal Oak is.
I officially fucking hate my grad program. I'm never going to graduate. I'm never going to leave my job. I'm never going to be done. Ever. They've tacked on extra requirements for the new degree, one of those being a required class that's being offered in the winter. But it's a good thing, that of the 3 classes the department offers next semester, BOTH OF THE REQUIRED ONES ARE AT THE EXACT SAME DAY AND TIME!! And they're not offered again until next winter. Oh and the third class, I've already taken. Fucking sucks. SUCKS.
Lucky me spent two Saturdays in a row drinking all afternoon watching football and then going out. Saturday was a good day (imagine Dr. Dre singing that, even though it's "Saturday" and not "today"). I have one Halloween costume that I invested in, and I plan on wearing it every single Halloween forever. I know, creativity with costumes is not my forte. But we had a lot of fun allll day. Thanks to Danielle for havin' us over!
I thought it was interesting to learn yesterday that they're expecting 18-30 year olds to have been very underrepresented in the polls they've been taking for the last couple months. Citing that pollsters use only land lines and not cell phones. So the 3-5% of the population who use cells as their only phone were entirely ignored. The large majority of which are 18-30 year olds. Veerrrrry interesting.
