Whoa. Life has been moving at light speeds the last few days. Boy am I glad it’s officially the weekend.
I saw Obama speak yesterday. I’m still amazed that of all places to speak, he came to Greenville and more importantly to ECU! How many people can say that a presidential candidate came to their school? Well, maybe a few other schools, but not many!! Usually I can’t stand politics, but Obama is very personable. In the middle of his speech some lady fainted (from dehydration) and he stopped mid-sentence to make sure that she had medical attention. The overall experience of the event was indescribable. I saw so many people of different backgrounds there, even friends of mine who are traditional conservatives passed by me gloating about Obama.
Today has been a whirlwind as well. As an intern I again had to work another event. This one was a little more difficult just because it was hot balls today. So ok, 80 degrees shouldn’t be hot, but when it was just 34 degrees two mornings ago and I was in a sweater, my body has a hard time adjusting. Anyway the event went over well, and I transported a bus load of my friends over to early vote. Woo!
A friend of mine is getting married!!! I’m extremely elated to find out the good news. I guess I’m not entirely shocked though, since he’s been dating his gf for 4 years or so. He’s the first one of ‘the crew’ to get married. It just goes to show you that we’re all growing up so quickly…before you know it we’ll all have kids…or well baby mama drama (for them, since most of my best friends back home are guys).
Another friend of mine has bent himself into a pretzel to help me out in certain situations here and although I’ve exhausted myself with “thank-you’s” I feel like it’s really not enough. I feel like I should do more, I’m just not sure what. Maybe I’m just not used to someone most people actually being legitimately nice to me without expecting some sort of favor in return. Ok…that sounded horrible…I’m not going into details with that.
Well tonight I think I’m getting into some trouble with some friends here. It’s been a while since we’ve all had a free night, so we’re probably going to spend it drinking…to forget things like the fact that gas is $3.50 now, finals are just around the corner and all of us need stable employment.
Adios
