In fact, it isn't even past.
The strangest thing happens when I listen to this guy. I find myself entertaining the hope that I could be proud of my president--something I haven't experienced since I was old enough to have such thoughts.
This morning I realized for sure what the fix is for all the nasty crap in the ongoing democratic primary campaign, and the nasty news coverage of it--I need to just listen to the future president give a speech every once in a while. He *so* nails it.
Here he is on Saturday.
(Here's another interesting tidbit. He's left handed. how yotta kewl is that? Every lefty I've ever known has been very kewl.)
Obama wins seven extra delegates at the second round of the Iowa caucuses.
So much for "experience" and the vaunted "Clinton machine"
Here's me on the news here last week. I'm the one in the rainbow hued sweater fairly early in the video (in case you don't know what I look like =)
And in case you ever wanted to know, here's some instructions on how to use circular breathing technique to blow an never ending note on your harmonica.
Hooray. After my quiz tomorrow morning, All I have left to do for this quarter is 3 enormous finals on Monday and Tuesday (which, by the way, I am rather dreading). Then it's on to 16 credits of Math in Spring quarter, including
Differential Equations
Mathematical Reasoning
Matrix (which is to say, linear) algebra
Probability
Game theory.
Yippee.
I think this is pretty freaking kewl.
Okay, truth be told, I think Mr. Obama is prett kewl anwyay. But how creative is this? The Barack Obama campaign has put together a really creative fund raising effort. For anyone who goes to their website and donates *any* amount between now and 11:59 PM EDT on Wednesday, June 13th, you get put in a drawing to take part in an intimate dinner for five: four contributors and Mr. Obama. "Normal" presidential campaigns would have a *rather* high price for a seat at such an intimate dinner.
Yes, I know odds are against you. Hell, I just finished the two quarter Bachelor of Science in psychology statistics course (with a 4.0, I might add). Now let's face it, more than 100,000 people had donated before April 4th this year, and a lot of those are going to be getting an email about this latest fundraising effort. So if 100,000 people give between now and Wednesday the 13th (which is a worst case scenario, methinks, in terms of odds of going to the dinner), then your odds of getting in on the dinner are 1 in 100,000, or .001%. pretty freaking small. But that's still better than the odds of winning the Mega millions jackpot (.00057% =)
