Reading Hardballkid's journal

Campus voting day was Friday (10-11 am). So, as planned, I got up, showered, threw on some formal wear, and headed over to the voting site. As expected, I was the first there to cast my ballot (as the motto of Chicago goes- vote early & vote often), of course, voting for myself as President. After chatting a bit, walked back to my dorm and started on some studying. Nervous of course, for the next 3 hours or so until the votes were tallied, I sat, napped, studied and shot some hoops. Loosing track of time, I was indulging myself in my favorite movie when my- hoped to be- Vice Pres walked in smiling. "Sweet" I thought to myself as we shook hands and congratulated each other.

I was always pretty optimistic about the results, but always being true to myself, I still had a faint worry- Which would be expected for any male running in the school when 3/5 of the student body is female. However, my optimism was confirmed. Seeing the rest of the results- I saw that 5 of 6 that I voted for were victorious. So, in short, next year will be great. I know our Student Senate will do great things for the school.

It has been a fine weekend, so far. Then I bowled that same day with some friends and faculty. Taking a rest until later that evening when I purchased some movies I have been wanting lately: American History X & Requiem for a Dream- both awesome in their different ways. Today ran little errands and then played an intense basketball game for the league in which we participate. We won, no thanks to my 10 points ;-)

Now, getting to some work. Next week is finals and boy, I'm not looking forward to it. Summer- a week a way is pretty unbelievable. No one I know gets out as early as we do. Just means I get a jump-start on those summer jobs.

Overall, this freshman year of college has been tough. Yet, I have enjoyed every minute of it.

Now are ye undeceived! Welcome, again, my children, to the communion of your race!
