President Obama

Going back to my last entry, I couldn't do it. Election Day is the first Tuesday of November. That's when I voted ... right after math class this morning. No wait, no fuss, no muss. It was awesome! Electronic voting machines! Blessed be technology!!
I'm sitting here at work - 7:46pm MST and the electoral count is currently at 200 to 90. For 80+ years now (or 15 elections) the Washington Redskins have decided the outcome of the elections. If the Redskins lose their home game just prior to election day, a new political party will take office. If they win, the incumbant party stays. It's pretty amazing, but that's how it's happened for 15 elections - consistently (check snopes.com if you don't believe me)! So... it will be interesting to see if it holds true for 16 elections.
On to school ... my favorite subject ... I gave my second "informative" speech. I said earlier that I was going to do it on PB&J's, but my mom (thanks, mom!) came up with an even better idea - and it was a complete hit! With my class AND my teacher! My subject - "how to cook a turkey"! I got me a rubber chicken (couldn't really cook a real bird in class, duh!), made some stuffing (yes, the real stuff), went thru the whole schpeel... pick it out, thaw it, pull the guts out, clean it, stuff it, cook it, set a perfect table (for this I gave everyone a placemat, plate, napkin & fork), then ended it by giving everyone a piece of pumpkin cake. It was pretty freakin' awesome!
OH! I also got 101 on my last math test. yippee!!!
OH! and I gave in to the pressure and now have a 'facebook' page or wall or whatever it's called. It's a huge time suck! Holy cow!
UH OH... it's now 7:58 and the race is at 200 to 124... McCain is creeping up there (get it... creep(ing)) OY
K, more later. I'll try to be better, although I don't know why. Seems my time is going to Facebook, so who knows.
