Pete's Log: voting, classes, and snow
Entry #563, (Life in General)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
Election day. Should be an interesting day. My vote's in. Has been in for a while. All I get to do now is sit back and watch... an interesting fact I read: apparently this has been the most expensive campaign in history, with an average of about $30 spent for every vote. Insane. The earliest results in at this point show that Bush won in the two New Hampshire towns that opened their polling stations at midnight. In those two towns Bush got 38 votes, Gore got 18, and others got 2. Fun fun.
God Bless America
I just noticed that "The Ever Passing Moment" by MxPx has an enhanced data track. I may need to boot realloc into MacOS to play with that...
Had an interesting chat with Dr. Kogge before class started today. Talked about classes for next semester. The two classes I'm definitely taking are Comp Arch and Algorithms. Kogge said the grad comp arch class should be easy for me, which is good, since Algorithms promises to be a handful. I've been trying to figure out what third class I want to take, and Kogge said that they've found somebody to teach a computer graphics class, which would be cool, so I'll probably end up taking that. I'm definitely more psyched about my classes next semester than I was for this semester's offerings. This semester has been very non-challenging. The only class I'm really enjoying is Kogge's. But oh well. Dr. Kogge and I also talked a bit about skiing. I'm really stoked for skiing this winter. Man, I can't wait. All I can do is pray for snow. Of course to a large extent it's a very selfish thing to be asking of God, but on the other hand, the economy back home really needs a good snow year, so the livelihood of many people depends on snow, so I feel justified in asking for it.
