I told everyone I thought this election would be a landslide and it was!!! It was the only way to give a good ol' F-U to the Republicans! Show them how frustrated, disappointed, and ashamed of them we are with our votes!! It was an exciting night of election viewing and here in MA, there were also three ballot questions on the ballot.
#1: A proposal to eliminate the state income tax. Hell to the no!! Others agreed with me.
#2: A proposal to eliminate the felony label for those that are arrested with a small amount of pot. My stance: of course. Being a felon is a huge deal, carrying enough pot to smoke with a friend, not a big deal and totally not worth jail time. The people of MA also agreed with me!
#3: A proposal to ban dog racing. A resounding yes from me and my fellow Commonwealthers. Thank God people have a conscience.
I think it's really amazing to see how many people have been at these rallies all along...some of the pictures are fantastic. It serves to show the discontent felt by so many. I never feel hopeful after elections, I usually feel like it's going to be the same old same old. This time I feel hopeful. Don't let me down President Obama!

School, Weekend Plans
Ok, I totally forgot about the debate last night! I even got home from school in time for it but was apparently zonked and didn't even think of it. From what I've heard, it's fairly lackluster...just like the candidates!
Last night, we learned how to do the complete neuro exam. For some reason, this is the one that I'm most comfortable with, likely because I do portions of it for a few of our studies.
Well, it feels like a long week. Even longer now that I know my Mom is coming to see me in only two weeks! Luckily, I'm pretty busy between now and then so she should be here before I know it. My friend S and I are once again going on the Wool Arts Tour. It gives you a chance to see the whole process of how our precious yarn comes to be. There are five or six farms that you can tour, some have sheep, some have no animals but have the roving some have yarn. It was really fun last year and the farms are in the mountains and country side of New Hampshire which is great for leaf peeping. This year, we'll be accompanied by a GPS and no longer have to rely on my husband to give us very very slow directions while we pass all the roads we should be turning on. He feels that the GPS system was a gift for both me and him :)
