elections...

I am so distracted from study today it's not funny!
I'm not really procrastinating, and I'm almost focused but every time I start reading, my mind just keeps thinking about other stuff, lol

I wonder whats gonna happen in like a month or two when all the hype about the US elections and our elections dies down - what are we all gonna be talking about??? lol

Though its crazy this year as I've actually been somewhat interested and trying to be informed [not so successfully haha] and know everything that's happening. Well yay for Barack Obama - at least I know enough to believe that his victory is a good thing. Like most people I know I was hoping he'd win and I was pleased yesterday when it was announced. And by quite a decent margin too, if I remember correctly. But I'm actually quite surprised at how happy I was -and still am about it given how ignorant I've been all year - well all my life really!!! I'm almost buzzing over it haha.
Well it will be interesting to see what happens over the next few years and see what changes happen now that the US isn't run by a conservative idiot.[particular influence on the idiot part lol] Because everyone knows the President of the USA pretty much rules the world. [Sad.]

I'm sick of being ignorant haha I'm gonna start trying to pay attention to current affairs both at home and overseas. This is me being optimistic/idealistic lets see if I can keep it up haha. Fingers crossed =)

And now for our own elections. Hmmm - Saturday!!!!
It's a bit crazy this time around with the upcoming election knowing that I will actually be voting and so have to make some sort of decision!!! Well I'm pretty sorted now...I've decided where my votes are going but it's pretty insane. I reckon it's gonna be a weird kindof feeling on Saturday. Nervous? Excited? I'm not actually sure but hey.

I still dont feel like I know enough - I really should know more about what goes on in national politics though I spose I know a lot more than some.

Feels like such a childish and messy election campaign, but then it's probably always like this. I dunno. My thoughts keep disappearing before I have a chance to write. Ah well.
Not sure how competent Labour really are but I'm scared of National winning *worried face.* Big changes coming up if they do. Maybe we need a change, but I'd rather not see it under John Key. Not good changes. Me definately not a National person. haha

If I wasn't rambling at the start of this blog [which probably no one will read - possibly a good thing - and which has turned out way longer than I intended], then I definately am now.I guess it's time for lunch and a bit of housework, and with any luck, when I come back just maybe I might actually be able to think Chemistry for an hour or two.
