Well today is here. Every leap year on the first Tuesday in November we should all be out to vote. We've all probably followed at least a little of what's going on- some of the issues that our country and state faces. This is the first year i'm able to vote (I missed it by a few months 4 years ago) and Brock and I just got back from doing exactly that.
It was actually pretty fun. Since i've never voted before I was a little nervous- only because I didn't want to look like a gomer with all these older people there able to work technology better than I could. They didn't even check my ID... ? When I got to my little booth I found myself looking over my shoulders to make sure no one was looking. I didn't really know how to use the card the poll lady gave me. I tried swiping it like a credit card, then I clicked it in and out of the machine. It said "Your ballot has been cancelled, please see the poll lady"... What?! Did I ruin my chance to finally vote? No I just didn't push the card in right. Ha.
So I started my voting process. There was alot of people to vote for! I think next time i'll learn about the local issues because I was a little confused at what I was voting for some of the time (please don't take that as stupidity-- i'm a very smart person). I wrote myself in on a few... I almost did for President but then I realized even if I won I wasn't old enough. :)
Ha ha overall voting was great, and there wasn't really any line for Brock and I to wait in. So moral of the story is-- get out and vote! Even if it's for yourself!
