I am ecstatic with how elections went yesterday. I've been waiting to vote for a new president since I turned into a legal adult, man. I woke up early. 6:30 early to get ready to take the bus to get to the voting site. Studied while I waited in line to vote. 8 machines were down and I patiently waited for my turn with my headphones on. I couldn't help but overhear this obnoxious guy in front of me trying to change everyone else's votes from Obama to McCain. A foreign exchange student had his camera on and wanted to interview some locals about the elections. Most declined except for of course, the guy in front of me. 20 minutes must have past and the machines were up and running again.
It took me two tries to try and vote. The day before I tried to vote early by going to the Student Center and register. No luck there...they couldn't find my address and I had to leave. I always manage to screw up a registration form one way or another. The next time was a better chance. My old address still worked and I put my vote in. Being able to buy a lottery ticket or getting a tattoo isn't a mark of adulthood. To me voting was.
