Election day is here and in about... 2 hours, according to the news, we will find out who will be president of my home for the last few months. It's been so interesting to be in America to witness the campaign trail and be around the buzz. I've been following all the debates and dutifully pinning Obama badges to my bag and saying "I can't vote, i'm English" at least ten times a day to the campus campaigners. The whole time that I've been watching the debates though I've just been thinking that my God I am glad i'm not running for president. I mean, can you imagine the stress? and no matter what you do it's almost guarantee that half the country will hate you. If that isn't bad enough, you also have to make speeches for a casual audience of the WHOLE WORLD! It's putting my up and coming presentation in front of 28 people in perspective. I have a hell of a lot of respect for them though. That's pretty impressive. The modules I have taken this semester have made it even more fascinating for me. Sociology of Aging has made me think quite a lot about the effects of the health reforms will have. My Media module has put a really interesting twist on things. Anyway fingers crossed for Obama and i'll update later.
