Ok, so the first time in my life I voted for president!! Jason and I went to early vote on Friday. It was so exciting! The line wasn't bad at all; it took about 20 mins to receive the ballot and vote. Our registrar let us choose to vote electronically or by paper ballot, and there were a ton of poll booths. Literally what was holding up the line was waiting to receive the ballot and having everything explained. A lot of the booths were empty, so there were more than enough available. While I was waiting I texted by best friend and told her to come and vote. When Jason and I were leaving I saw her and her mom waiting in line. Trust me, it was like pulling teeth to get her to vote. I made her register on the last day available, showed her election resources on msnbc.com and cnn.com so she could become an informed voter, and then made her actually come out to vote. Sorry, but being uninformed or not voting in so not an option in my world. I think Jason can't wait until the election is over because at least then I won't be watching MSNBC 24/7. Anyways, now I'm holding my breath until tomorrow night. I can't believe Election Day is already here. I'm so nervous right now that something, anything will happen to just prove all the polls wrong and cause the upset to occur. Every time I think about it, I get nervous. Not only we will know who the new President is, we'll see what happens in congress and locally what happens on the measures. The absolute craziest thing occurred last week. Part of my church asked voters to vote No on Prop 8. My church has always been crazy conservative, which may be why I haven't gone in about 3 years, so no one could really believe that Adventist teachers were being asked to vote No. Everyone at work kept quasi-joking that "Jesus is coming soon". It stems from the church's belief that we are in the end times and the 2nd coming is near. Yep, that's a Seventh-Day Adventist joke for ya (yes, I'm part of the Mrs. Kim religion).
In other news, Ross did way better on his SAT. He got 2100, which is within the SC acceptance range. Since he's a guy, he'll have lower standards, so I'm sure that he'll get in. Also, Wednesday I have my second physics midterm. That's another thing I'm freaking out about. I got the absolute lowest C- possible on the last test, so I'm freaking out about not passing. I know I at least have a B in lab, and since the 1st midterm and lab are weighted the same, I think I have about a C+. As long as I can get the class average, I should be ok for the final. If I bomb again...no I don't want to think about that because that is one dark, scary place. Just have your fingers crossed for me please! Also, my computer got taken over by spyware last weekend. I only had USC's site open to check the time of game, and all of a sudden I got a pop-up that I had a Trojan and then my computer restarted. When it turned on, my wallpaper and home-page changed. I kept getting more and more pop-ups. The thing was though that Jason and I had just bought a security system from Best Buy after asking a worker which one was best. I run a full-scan with the program, which took an hour to complete, and it said that there were no threats on my computer. Yeah, a waste of $70 there. So I had to bring my computer in, and hopefully it will be fixed in two weeks. Oh well, nothing else will matter if tomorrow goes well. I can't wait!!
