Nov. 5, 2008 - The Day After

"Hope Won" - Oprah


Well, it's been a long time and I figured what an occasion to write but the day after the most important election in our history as a nation. The magnitude of this decision we made is huge and speaks to the change our country needs. I am not saying anything bad about Bush, I voted for him! America needed this President to prove that America is the land of opportunity where ANYONE can be President, no matter the color of their skin!

Another interesting point...Obama had 32% of the youth vote (18-29)! 4 years ago it was only 9%! So many young people came to his side and I love it! As a young person in America, I am proud of the decision that my generation made!

Moving on....What else.....

I am finished with my classes at Wayland. Student Teaching starts Feb. 23rd! I'm bummed it's starting so late but oh well. I am so sick of substituting! It's the only aspect of teaching I can honestly say I hate and cannot wait to be done! I would rather be cleaning up puke on the sidewalks after the Tech game than substituting! The pay sucks, the kids suck and some of the teachers suck. It's like I am less of a person because I am subbing. I thought I felt that as a para-teacher last year but man subs are treated like crap! The only good thing is that I can take days like today when I schedule myself unavailable to rejuvenate and go at it again tomorrow.

How about them Red Raiders!!!! 1st in the Big12, 2nd in the BCS and AP!! 3rd in Coaches!!!! It's a great time to be a Lubbock-ite!!!! This weekend against OSU will definitely tell us how good we are!! (I think I already know) It's going to be hard because Tamey made me a secret, closet OSU fan!!!! We shall see!

I have a headache so it's bye bye time.

Peace, Love, Obama!!!
