Well as most of you know, last week was finals week. I have finished all my classes and I have the grades, they are as follows (with what I was expecting in parenthesis).
Bus 120 - Financial Accounting (C) C - 70.55% (4 unit class)
Comm 122 - Public Speaking (A or B) B - 88%
Hist 109 - Modern US History (A or B) B - 88%
Posc 121 - Intro to US Government & Politics (C or higher) B - ?%

One down, three more to go
Yes, I'm talking about finals.
So today (Monday, 12/15) was my first final, Modern American history, after pulling an all-nighter to write a paper that I didn't even know was assigned. So I got the paper done at 3:30a, a full 12 hours before it was due, and ended up getting an 86 on it (out of 100). Then I took the final and ended up getting 70 out of 80. When the dust was settled, I ended up with an 88% in the class, so one C or better down, three more to go.
On Tuesday, I have Public Speaking at 11:30a with a 20 question test preceded by an impropmtu/special event speech. This speech is my favorite of the entire semester simply due to the fact that it is the one that I have had the most practice with over my life. Going into this speech & test I have a grade in the high 80's (just like my favorite type of weather!).
On Wednesday, I will have my toughest final in Intro to US Government & Politics. I will finish the 5-page paper that is due then on Tuesday. As long as I get a C in this class, everything is going to be good to go.
Thursday, I will be doing my online final for Accounting, and I believe that I should do ok on this test. Right now I'm on the low end of the 70's, but I should be ok on this.

The day after....
Well, what a night as far as our country is concerned. And for that matter, can California make up its collective minds?????
I say the last portion, simply becasue the voting doesn't make any sense. The state votes for Barrack Obama, who is generally pro-life and also to the best of my knowledge open to Gay's right to marry. So what does the State do? They strike down Gay's rights to marry and they also strike down a measure that would have required doctors to notify parents of minors that are in the process of having an abortion. This doesn't make any sense to me. If anyone can figure it out, and explain it to me, please leave a comment and explain. I'm also surprised at how many local bond acts passed, actually they all passed putting the county further into debt. In the current economic situation the country is in, allowing yourself to get further into debt, I believe is a bad thing, but what do I know?

Election Day
So here it is Election Day 2008, the day that the Nation elects a new leader for the next four years. Now yes, I am blogging about the fact that we are voting today, but unlike many other people that blog constantly, I am different. I don't care WHO you vote for, just as long as you DO VOTE!
As far as how I'm voting on the important things here in the great state of California, I am voting NO on Props 1-10 and YES on 11 & 12. Now, I know not everyone who reads this blog is a math major, so I will spell it out for you....I'm voting against Prop. 8.
Not that I need too, but I will explain why I'm voting no on this very important proposition. Prop 8 (for those that are reading this from outside of California) is on Gay marriage. If you vote yes on it, you are voting to make sure that the California state constitution reads "Marriage is between one man and one woman." Yes, this is what I believe, however, it is not my place, nor in my opinion, is it anyones right to tell anyone else how to live thier lives. I'm not Gay, but Gays have just as much right to enjoy the happiness of being married.

What a trip and HC the Patriot season could be in trouble
Well, yesterday was certainly interesting. If you read the previous post, you will see that I went to Bakersfield to surprise my friend Andy who was calling for a club up there. That is the cliff notes version of the story, here is the full story.
I got up and went and picked up Julie and then worked the Grossmont Vs. Cuesta Women's Volleyball match. I will be honest, I was expecting a 90 minute floor sweeping of Grossmont, I was wrong. The match lasted 2 hours and Grossmont lost in 5 games.
After the match, my mom, Julie and myself all got into the car and took off for Lakewood to meet up with the May's. Well, around 4:30 we leave Lakewood for Bako. Obviously LA is full of freeway's and since the May's live there, they know them better than I, but talk about the Magellan route of getting to Bako and the dance. We left Lakewood and took the 91 West to the 710 North. From the 710 we got onto the 5 (I'm in the chase vehicle and thinking, ok we are done.....WRONG!!!!!). Once on the 5 we got onto the 2 northbound until we reached the 210 West which took us back to the 5. We get to the 14 connector, there was a sign on the side saying that there was a brush fire on the 5 with 2 lanes closed. At this point Jesse calls me and asks, "do you want to take the 14?" to which I reply "I guess" not really knowing the route at that point. Well, this is when the adventure really begins. I never realized that you could go from Lakewood to Bakersfield via Mojave....yes Mojave and Lancaster. To which now that I know who was playing at Lancaster, I would have never gotten to Bakersfield, I would have bought a ticket for the LE Strom playing at Lancaster in the Southern Division of the California League playoffs. We eventually got into Mojave for a bathroom break. We then got onto the 58 West which took us right into Bako and only 9 blocks from the dance.
Once at the dance, I walk in with everyone else behind me, and standing right in front of me is my friend Andy, I say "Hey Andy", he turns to see who said it, and this blank confused look comes across his face as he says "what are you doing here?" To which I say "surprising you!"
After the dance, the entire crew drove a couple of blocks to an iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Hop (you have to know me to understand that). We all had some fun while eating. After the meal, the May's left to go home. Julie, my mom and I however, went over to CSU-Bakersfield to check out the campus. Since that is where I'm transfering (if everything goes according to schedule) in a year and I had not been to the campus. I drove around getting the lay of the land and all. We got home eventually around 5am.
I woke up this morning about 12:30p and turned on the NFL to see Matt Casel as the QB for the NE Patriots. I had not seen the score, so I thought sweet, the Pats are WAY ahead of the Chiefs ....WRONG. It turns out like it is an ACL injury to the reigning MVP of the NFL. The injury happened when Tom Brady threw what looked like a deep ball when a Chiefs defender rolled into Tom's left leg. An MRI will be done on Monday to reveal how bad the injury turely is, some reports out of New England are saying that it might be season ending. One word on that: DAMN! or you could use SHIT, your choice.
