Exam went better than expected today. Didn't really know what to expect as its the first but it was simpler than i thought, not easy, but not impossible. I needed all the revision I'd done, but theyre wasn't anything that was like Ack, I've never heard of that!

We also had a question:

What are your bio 1004 lecturers:
Bilatarians
Diploblasts
Ameobazoans
Boring (Please don't chose this one i just wanted to make you laugh halfway through, keep going!)

Which did as it was supposed to! Our lecturers are v good on this course. And the answer was bilatarians (or at least i think it was... i'm pretty sure they're not ameobas or jellyfish...)

have ended up riding again tomorrow, due ot slight booking confusion... but i did suddenly realise that we had been taught by a differant instrustor to normal the past 2 times, so maybe it will be better this time? I don't know but i'll go and find out hey!

Plus as i have no practical tomorrow moring i need something to do!

Due to me being completely un-organised in the mornings I have actually been following the US election somewhat, I have to buy the paper to keep me entertained over lunch. I probably know more about this election than I ever have about any british election, in all honesty i probably actually care about the outcome of this election more than i have for any britsh election. But then we haven't had a british election since i've been old enough to vote and actually have a logical opinion. Maybe its also becuase there are acutally 2 differant candidates for this electon, britain pretty much plods along, one party makes one mistake, but another would have made a simular one.

But I don't understand this belief that Obama will save the day. Yes, he is obivously a better candidate than McCain, please! But he's not this all powerful all healing superman guy. He's a politician, same as all the others. He may well be the best man for the job, I certainly know who I would be voting for if I were unfortunate enough to have been born in US. Its like everyone believes that we'll wake up tomorrow (or possibly next week depending on how messed up the vote counting gets!) and the world will be rosy. We'll all have money falling from the sky, the troops will come home, there will be no more terrorists and everyone will be happy. Its a ncie thought, but what will everyone think when it doesn't happen?? When economic decline continues as it evidently will, when we cannot just leave, end the wars and go home. When there is still alot to work out and when precious Obama makes mistakes. Because he will.

I support Obama, to be honest I don't think theres any sane competition, he at least wants to give it the best shot. But he's not perfect, heres hoping the world isn't expecting him to be.
