Reminiscing on Election Day
I didn't register to vote this year. I know, I know. New York is a Democratic state anyway, and if I'd voted, I would have voted Democrat, so that is how I've justified my laziness to myself.
I can't believe four years have passed. I remember the election in 2004 like it was yesterday. I voted at an elementary school in a slightly sketchy part of New Brunswick. It was the day before I chopped off all my long hair and got the bob I hated for three months afterward. It was still kind of seasonal out and I wore my boyfriend's sweater. While the polls were coming in, I sat in the living room of my on-campus apartment and watched in horror while working on a group project for my stupid class about ethics in science. I was still fumbling around in the dark, but I knew change was coming.
I wonder what change is coming now.
