Day 4: Comfort & Relief

my week is over. this was a very trying week school-wise, and i'm happy to say that not only did i successfully survive, but i managed to excel. nothing beats the feeling that engulfs me on a thursday morning once i finish class for the week, knowing that i don't have any studying to do that night. it's far more satisfying than the feeling on friday after knowing my week is over.

if it seems that there's more of a positive air to my posts these days, it's because i've found comfort in my situation. granted, it's still quite foreign to me, but that doesn't make it unnavigable. there's nothing that life can throw at me that i can't handle, it's just that some situations may take longer to adjust to than others.

the presidential elections are quickly approaching. well, not as quickly as the democratic national convention. those of you who know me will find no surprise that i align myself as a democrat, although not a card-carrying member of the party. quite frankly, i don't like the usage of the terms "democrat" and "republican", i just consider myself fairly liberal, and that the views and opinions of the republican party and their propaganda vehicles (fox news in particular) are far too conservative for my personal tastes. in this election year, i'm hoping to choose my first winner, since i'm 0 for 2 in voting (at 18 years old in 2000 i voted for al gore, and at 22 years old in 2004 i voted for john kerry). either way, i'm going to spare you from reading any more political rambling and cut right to the primary purpose of this tangent: i have finally selected which democratic candidate i prefer. all due to this one youtube clip, i have decided to become an obama supporter. enjoy:



i have zero plans this weekend and i'm looking to enjoy myself, yet not go too crazy. anyone with any sort of ideas, get at me.

as always, it is always a pleasure...
