Voting

Wahhhhhhhooo! I voted. But what a long and arduous feat. From the debates, I knew who I wanted to vote for president but all the other positions I hadn't a clue. So I spent a good amount of time looking up the other candidates to see what they were about. I wish I could be more confident that I was choosing the right candidates but it is hard when I don't live in the country...

I actually almost didn't vote though. I went to Mail Boxes Etc. to send in my ballot. They told me that it would cost about $6 to send it to the States but that it would get to it's final destination around Nov 6th! That's 2 days after the election...great. And how much does it cost to send it faster? $45!? No no, thank you, I'll just not vote. My only other option was that I vaguely remembered hearing that the American Consulate would send in my ballot for me. Even though Jessica was busy, I think she saw that I was upset and offered to drive me there. And the rumors were true and it was really fast. The best thing was that it was free. It literally took me 2 minutes to give them my ballot and leave.

This weekend was busy... I'm looking forward to a weekend when I'll have nothing planned haha. I suppose I did get a fair amount of things done though. I played in 2 soccer games and we did great. I got caught up on my budget, cleaned my room and did my laundry. Saturday, Jessica and I went out to a bar with Peter and Diana and then went to Karaoke. I was really tired by that time and only sang one song. I hope that we go again soon.

On Sunday, we went to a cookout that Patricio was doing and afterwards watch the Chivas vs. Americas game. But I was still very tired and was drifting in and out of sleep.

These next 2 weeks are going to be extra busy as I have Microsoft Office 2007 training right after work until 8 pm every weekday...That means that I will be in my classroom for a little more 12 hours each day for the next 2 weeks. Wahoo... On the good side of things, I will be certified to administer tests to certify students and I can start teaching the kids right now I suppose.
