Journal Entry #1

Today is a very exciting day. Not only is it November 4, 2008, its election day and my first time voting ever! I was a little nervous about the different propositions, and I kept reading them over and over to make sure I understood what they were. I recorded my answers on my sample ballot and took it with me to make sure I marked the right answer. The whole process only took me about 20 minutes. The voting place for my area was held in the clubhouse at my apartment complex. The people there were nice and very helpful. All in all, I'd say it went rather well. This election is history in the making. It has a number of first time events involved. For the first time in U.S. history, an African American man has been nominated to run for the presidency, and has an overwhelming chance to win the election for the President of the United States. There is also a woman running for the Vice-President's seat.
