morning babble and voting woes

going to bed early = going back a lot more in livejournal in the morning.

must get in the shower when parent number 1 is out so i can get my ass to the polls before i get my ass on the train. i want to at least attempt to vote even though i really don't like any of the candidates. part of me is wondering whether i should just skip voting instead of placing a vote i'm not happy with. i'm a democrat and i pretty much vote down the party lines but i don't like McGreevey. but i like him better than Schundler. of course Schundler is also about 15 points back in the polls. which is good.

i'll figure something out. did none of my homework this weekend. i care not. i have to be at school by 1 to tutor the kid who annoys the crap out of me because he writes me emails in teeny-speak. nothing like getting an email from one of your students full of 'u' and 'pls' and 'thanx'. actually...scratch all of that. i just got another email from him and he's not coming because he's sick. well okay. but be aware that i'm not home till 10 and i'm going to bed right after that cause i have to be at work at 8.

mom and i are discussing the election thing. she's not voting because she doesn't know who to vote for either. this is discouraging to me. i want to vote because i feel it does make a difference. look at last year's election. and i did vote in that one. i came home the night before so i could make sure i got to vote. i cared last year. this year...i don't care. i do but i don't. i have no idea what any of the candidates stand for because i haven't been following it. all i know is the negative commericials that are all over tv. i guess i could vote along the lines of who's commercials annoy me the least but that's a bad way to vote.

i'm babbling. i need to get in the shower and have more coffee.


edit: i would also like to say that i love Kate because her entry on the subject is: Not the Church, Not the State. Give all the power to KATE!

and i agree....

and it goes....

all day long i've been thinking about how i'm going to write this real journal entry for me and i'm going to wax poetic on what i've seen today in my trek to philadelphia and my time spent in my classes. alas no. i don't think that's going to happen. why you ask? let me count the reasons...

1 - My wisdom teeth have been doing the 'hi we're here!' and 'oops. now we're not' thing for about six months now. Well today (and the end of yesterday) they've been doing the 'hi we're here' thing. Painfully. My whole left side of my face is throbbing and I think it's swollen. It feels swollen.

2 - I've had a headache since I woke up. I assumed it was because of lack of caffeine and expected that to take care of it. No. It hasn't and now, along with the tooth thing, I have the headache thing making my life miserable.

3 - This is a good one. I swear. This is me gloating...

a) got my American Lit midterm back.

GOT AN A!

as far as I know, I'm the only one who got an A.

::dances::

b) got my Holocaust test back.

GOT A 100!

another A.

he wrote on the test that i got the highest grade in the class and it was great improvement.

::dances some more::

4 - Decided to take my life in my own hands and get Shrimp and Broccoli from one of the carts. See, the carts make the best Chinese food but I've never actually attempted them with anything related to seafood. It's possible I may have just signed my own death certificate for some really fantastic food. Eh. And the cheesecake for dessert was very nice.

5 - The whole voting thing. Finally resolved with myself to vote on my way to the Speedline. I pull into the place where I always vote. And it's closed. I have absolutely no idea where I'm supposed to vote since the place I always go apparently wasn't opened today. I'm lost. So in the end, I didn't vote. Argh. Now I'm angry about that.

6 - The movie we saw in the Holocaust class about the liberation of the camps by the Americans was so incredibly heartbreaking and graphic that after the class I found an empty bathroom and cried for about twenty minutes. And that's after breaking down in class. I'm thinking that might be helping with the headache.

7 - &*%#&*%@#* headphones broke. So I can't listen to music. That hurts so bad. I was analyzing the intricaties of AntiChrist Superstar on the way over to the City and how since Manson's stopped using Trent Reznor as a producer, the actual quality of the producing has gone down greatly. Cause Trent's a motherfucking genius. And yes the cursing was necessary there.

so yeah...that's why I haven't written the entry i wanted to write. Maybe I'll do it later.


ow.
