Tomorrow is election day!

Hey all,
Tomorrow is election day, and I could not be more excited! I plan on starting out my day around 4:30 am, needless to say lots of caffeine will be flowing!

Today was a pretty sweet day, I had a couple of friends come down to the campaign to volunteer in order to complete an assignment for one of their courses. I have to say that is was really neat assignment, it also created a great situation for me, because volunteers were for sure needed today! I have been pretty impressed by the amount of volunteers that are coming out for the big day, we had a Sangamon County volunteers training session on Sunday evening and there were hundreds of people there. I talked to so many volunteers that feel a close relationship to this election. There were also people of all ages, I made friends with a 7 and a 9 year old who tagged along with thier parents. They asked me if I was a grown up! Due to the fact that I have my own house they deduced that I was indeed a grown up! Even though my two new friends may have thrown me into a quarterlife crisis, I think that it is so cool that they are getting to experience this historic election from the front lines with thier parents. They might not get the significance now, but one day they are going to realize how cool being involved with all of this was.

Ok, I am off to bed, hopefully 6 hours and ton of adrenaline will get me through the day tomorrow!
Have a good one and remember to vote!
+ Samantha
