i voted for the first time today. i feel really good about it. i waited in line for an hour and was almost half an hour late for my first class but it was worth every second! plus even though i hate starbucks i got a free small coffee today before class because i voted. that started my day off right.
i started the day in one of those "god, i have to get into the grind again" kind of moods. but i walked a few blocks to school and already felt better. there is absolutely no reason why i should feel down. none. in fact, i should feel good. so i guess i do now.
today i went to the merchandise mart to benjamin moore paints for one of my classes. it was FASCINATING. this one gay guy taught us all about paint quality, and color. we got a bunch of free stuff from them. i love love love learning about color. it's so fun. and to think my career will consist a lot of that.....
being in chicago is such a blessing. the merchandise mart is this ridiculous resource we have here and it's something that interior designers dream of going to. i'm also like 5 minutes from grant park where obama is going to have his rally. i want to go down there tonight, but i may just stay in with my roomies and hear the roars of yells and happy cries from my window. maybe we'll drink some wine tonight.
so. anyways.
feelin' pretty good.
