We won the House!

YES!

Now, let's hope that Webb wins in Virginia and all we need is Montana. I've been really doubting about my party gaining a majority in the Senate but I would so love it if that happened. I'm happy that it seemed like Democrats are being strongly endorsed this election year but I'm a bit on the fence about it as well because many of the pickups we've had are coming from the conservative, more moderate sort of Democrats and as a pretty liberal one, I would rather have a more liberal House and Senate preferably. But even if it won't be as liberal as I would like, it's sure as hell a lot better than having it as conservative as it might have been.

I've been watching CNN practically all night. I think I started around six PM? It only started to get good around 7 PM because that's when first of the polls closed... I'm really disappointed that Ford's going to lose because I really do like Harold Ford and the way he's ran his campaign this year (plus Obama endorses him and I love Obama!). If Webb wins, I will be ecstatic. I really want Webb to win. And I'm a bit upset that Steph, who is from Virginia, did not vote. She would have voted for Webb, I'm sure of it. The NYU Republican is like an endangered species after all...

And it's now 12:30 AM. Montana still hasn't been projected either way so I don't want to go to sleep but I have class and I'm tired... God, I don't know what I want to do... *yawns* I want to know who wins the Senate. I know it'll be very hard for the Democrats to win the three Senate seats and I've been very pessimistic about it all but I still have hope. And I want to see it pan through. All in all, I just want to be supporting my party in spirit at least.

Schedule

I just made up possible spring schedules and the best one has me having 8:55 AM Physics lab/recitation which I'm not all too keen about that. Right now the earliest classes I have are at 9:30 which is a lot different than 8:55. And I'll have to write up my lab reports more than a day in advance because I won't be able to print them the day of any more...

I'm going to take Gene Structure and Function, a two and a half hour course which is pretty long considering a normal course is only one and a quarter hour long. But then again, it is once a week as opposed to twice a week normally so I guess it adds up. I just hope I won't be wanting to kill myself with this stuff. I'm okay with genes and I think it's fascinating so hopefully I will be okay with it.

I'm also going to take "Japanese Language and Structure in Mass Media" as a way to try and get at conversational Japanese a bit. I want to be better with the oral bit since I'm really weak with it so this should be interesting. We'll be watching Japanese shows, all in their raw forms and I've been told to expect movies, dramas, TV shows, documentaries -- without subtitles. It sounds scary but also very interesting. I hope I get in because if I don't, then I have no idea what I'm going to do for my third class. I really don't want to take Vertebrate Anatomy because it really doesn't fit into my schedule if I want to work and I want to work. With it as I want it now, I'll be getting about 17.5 hours of work done each week with work done on all days except Wednesday. I'm thinking of taking out Tuesday though -- it's only 3.5 hours which is a lot but at the same time, I feel as if I need at least one day for myself. Fridays is completely free so it's a prime time to work and Tuesdays, I'll have class up to 12:15 PM so I can work the rest of the day. Three days a week and 14 hours of work really isn't all that bad. It's more than I work now in fact so it's all good. We'll see I guess... :\
