Election Day

(new pictures on at my picture website. Check them out.)

So today's the day of the big election. I've spent the past few days helping my buddy Shane out with the campaign process by going door to door at a few places last night. I also went to an international student's banquet, where students either had to bring a dish from their native country or do a song/dance. I sang a song, and there was a group of guys from Malaysia who did a really well choreographed dance. All of the Americans brought mac and cheese or peanut butter and jelley, but as a whole there was some quality food there and I was sure to at least try a bite of all of it. I think my favorite dishes were the German and Finnish desserts (both made by friends of mine from the choir.)

I woke up this morning and apparently my flat-mate, Dan, got a call from the employment office here at the university, so it was off to work. We basically hauled in and out boxes for a post-graduate students fair in the main student building. It was pretty easy, and it was good to take a look at the universities and stuff around Ireland. Tonight I might be headin to a woman's rugby party (a bunch of Whitman girls and some friends of mine are having a party tonight..and it's karaoke, so I should go...we'll see what happens there...there also might be a post-election bash for my friend Shane, if he wins...decisions decsisions.)

That's all for now.

Cheers,
