Nerdiness at it's finest!

Halloween has came and went...yet it's still hot as hell outside. Am I complaining? A little. I was finally getting acclamated to the cold weather and then the sun is like, "Hmm...I like sending out burning rays of cancerous warmth" and then procedes to make it hot....in NOVEMBER. Whatever.

So Barack Obama spoke on campus last night. I wasn't planning on going. I wanted to stay home and do homework, but I was like this really is a unique opportunity. He could be president in a matter of two days. So I called a friend and we decided to go. I left my apartment around five, which put me in line at 5:30ish. By then the line was all the way back on Sigma Sigma Commons, so I wasn't even sure I'd get in. It was funny though, I ended up running into my neighbors from my parents' house in Hebron while in line.

After waiting in line for a good hour, I find out another friend of mine is a lot closer in the line, and he has some special tickets. He invites me and my friend to join him, which we do. So we stand in line for another two hours or so and wait. Slowly, we finally get to the front of the line. A guy then asks us if we want to sit behind Obama and we were like hell yeah. So we get led down to this special seating, where I watch Obama speak. Afterwards I shake his hand and he looks me in the eye and says, "thank you" Now I know it's super cheesy to make a big deal of this, but that was one the coolest things that I've ever gotten to do.
