The early numbers are Corzine at 56% and Forrester at 43%, and the rest going to other non-viable candidates. Despite my dislike for Democrats, Forrester frightens me. It's not really fear, but he's just too smug to be a good person. Corzine has this grand-fatherly thing, despite the fact that he has more money than God (even though Corzine probably doesn't have as much money as Bloomberg.) Forrester could potentially be really terrible on a woman's right to choose, homosexuality, environment, and probably alternative education. New Jersey is a blue state, so I didn't think that Forrester had a huge chance. But, in the past few days, with the polls there had been some doubts on that. I just really don't want a Republican in office. (Not that I particularly want a Democrat either, or that I really enjoy US Government, but Republicans in New Jersey are just... well, you'd have to be here.)
In terms of my education, actually, things are going incredibly well. I am doing very well in art history and astronomy, and I am amazed by the fact that astronomy is going so well. The Goddard College program, which I helped with at the formation of it, is going to be beginning on March 3rd. Hopefully I'll be doing two courses there, and I'm thinking about doing effective speaking and chorus at Sussex County Community College. Things are falling into place and I'm really happy about that. For my senior year I think that I'm just going to do something that I want, but put all of my energy and time into it. Something really extensive but I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet. Hopefully I'll get into a college which I have some kinship to (surprisingly enough, the more and more I look into it, the more and more Drew is appealing to me.)
I keep making mistakes and I hate doing that. Stupid mistakes. Random mistakes. Mistakes that do not even impact me, but I know that I've done them. The perfectionist in me is digging nails into the sides of my head. But, honestly, I really do not want to get into this here. It's not the, "Oh!111 I do not feel understood! I'm so CRYPTIC! blahblahblah111@@!" it's just that I don't feel that I understand well enough to even be misunderstood at this point. Obviously that last statement made perfect sense. With that note, however, I will live you. Be well.
