Interestingly, I'm much more confident in Obama now than I was before the elections... or even during Election Day. I've had nothing against him, but it's that feeling that I feel that our country will move in a better direction in the next four years and that I've made the right decision by voting him that has finally settled within me--- apparently not so before all of the chaotic, MESSY-AS-FUCK Presidential campaign.
As a side note, I was disappointed that the Floridian Amendment 2 (equivalent to Prop 8 in California; gay marriage ban) passed. I voted "no" on it, and I was getting a bit optimistic that it may pass because during the early vote count, it was about 50-50. In the end, it passed with more than 60%, in which 60% is needed for an Amendment to pass. I was even more surprised that California got theirs passed... especially since they're more left-wing than Florida.
Anyway, I have shit to read for class--- and it's already passed (past? wut.) 1:30. School is killing me slowly. I can't wait to get this semester over (though it's almost over. Hah.) I'm going up to Gainesville later today for the weekend. It should be fun.
