Yay! My Internet works again! I've been without it since Monday evening and I thought I was going to go crazy. I got kicked off the network somehow and it took forever to get back on. Who knows, I may wake up in the morning and not have Internet again, so I'd best take advantage of it while I can.

Ok, so someone (hmmm...that's so hard to figure out) wants to know what I thought of Howard Dean. So here it is, just in case anyone else is interested. It was pretty funny because I was sitting in between two of my friends, one an avid Republican (Emily) , the other a Democrat (Julie) . I felt bad clapping everytime Dean made some sort of anti-Republican point because of her, so I just looked at Julie and we both laughed. Meanwhile, Emily furiously took notes on all the "ridiculous" points he made, probably so she could meet with the College Republicans and complain about his disrespect toward Bush.

Overall, I thought his speech was very nice. One of his main points was that people should get involved in their community by running for office or helping with a campaign, which was a nice change from all the lectures telling you to just vote because every vote counts, blah blah blah. I also liked the part of his speech where he elaborated on the things that every American wants regardless of political party, including health care for everyone, education, etc. (meaning I can't remember the rest). He did make a lot of jabs at Bush and the Republicans in general, which is not surprising considering he is a Democrat, however I know this angered and disappointed many of the Republicans on campus. They were hoping for a more general speech that would appeal to everyone regardless of position or interest in politics. The speech was presented well and managed to maintain my interest despite the fact that I couldn't see well due to the extremely long neck of the girl sitting diagonally in front of me. So I enjoyed the speech and was glad I went. We stayed for most of the Q&A session, although I'm not gonna lie, I zoned out and didn't really pay much attention to what was said.

It's done nothing but rain all day and the forecast suggests the same for tomorrow. My umbrella broke today, so that's no good. Oh well, I think it's supposed to be sunny on Friday. Although it is nice that the temperature is a bit cooler. Not everyone is lucky enough to have air-conditioning in their rooms.

So that's about it. Lots of work and everything's beginning to get crazy already. No big plans for the weekend yet, although I'm sure something will come up as the time draws nearer. I just hope my Internet still works when I wake up in the morning.
