Election Woes
Before retiring to bed last night after a rousing evening of Karaoke fun with my friends Erin, Cat, and Mary, I got a text from Shane saying that he lost the election, which is a major bummer. All of the talk and campaigning around the election got me thinking: maybe I should run for ASWC president? Hmm...well, let me know what you think anyway (whitties) because it'd be a tough thing to do while in another country, but who knows. I'll give it some time and think about a platform.
Details on Karaoke night, Erin and I did a duet to "Summer Nights" from everyone's favorite cult-classic, Grease. I also sang "I've Got You Under My Skin" by Old Blue Eyes himself. We're now in the semi-finals for a karaoke competition (one for our duet and then myself for my solo work) so who knows, maybe I'll make some extra Euro on the side.
Tonight I get to do more promotion work at the Living Room, and I have to be there at 5:30 (which is pretty early.) Just finished my paper on the South African War. 2 down, only 2 more to go, and then I'm done with papers for this semester and will only have exams to look forward to.
Last night I also returned from the bar and called mom and dad. It was great to talk to them.
On my walk back I also stopped at a staple of Irish fast food: Supermacs. We don't have them back home, but I'm convinced we should. This is a modern fast-food wonder. The restaurants sell burgers, chips, pizza, kebabs, etc with a menu about twice the size of McDonalds. Their bathrooms are truly state of the art. Instead of sinks, they have "hand washing stations" where you put your hand underneath the sensor and it squirts soap, runs water, and dries your hands all in a cycle. The wonders of technology. This almost beats my excitement after my first encounter with self-flushing toilets in the 1st grade! The downside to Supermacs is that they nickle and dime you for ketchup, and only give you 1 packet standard with your chips, which require at least 4 or 5. Oh well, no fast food chain is perfect (except for Jack in the Box..how I miss you.)
So, will my election ramblings be but a pipe dream? Or will I pull through and try to do a remote campaign? Only time will tell.
Stay tuned.
Cheers,
