A few months ago, Mom and I signed up to be poll workers at the election and yesterday was the big day. We had to be at the school at 6am and we couldn't leave until everything was cleaned up we ended up leaving about 9pm. It was a great experience. It was only busy for the first 45 minutes, and the rest of the day people just trickled in. I was surprised I thought there would be lines all day long. I saw a couple of my friends from high school who I haven't seen in ages.
The school we were at was where Seth and I went to elementary and I hadn't been back since then. It was cool to see the renovations they've done and see that a lot is still the same. It was nice to reminisce. We even got to eat school lunch. Seth came to visit and it was fun to reminisce with him too about his memories. It was just a great day. It was fun to be with Mom, talk to voters and be important, and feel apart of something great.
It was a little disappointing that when I got home the election had already been decided. The frustrating part is that my vote wasn't even in yet and it was over. Not that it could have changed anything, it just didn't matter either way. I watched Obama's speech and he does have a gift for speaking, but I'm hesitant, and it I would feel the same no matter who was elected. I just hope things change.
