After getting about 2.5 hours of sleep last night, I am absolutely exhausted, and I have an Art History exam tomorrow. (I spent about half the night at a convention center outside of Florence with way too many Americans watching CNN and BBC on big screens and then the other half of the night refreshing [...]

So after two years of campaigning and all that jazz, Election Day in the United States has finally arrived. And I’m in Italy. Funny how things work. Anyway, how I made it through classes today without suffering a nervous breakdown, I have no idea, but I survived all the same. I hope to do some [...]

WARNING: Extremely long post, made to look even longer by my blog template. Read only if you want to procrastinate as much as I do. Or you really miss me. – Let me be frank (and I’ll let you be Ernest). No, seriously. I love campaigns. And I love Middlebury. But hell, they are not [...]

Hey, guess where I am now? Answer: In my own little personal Obama office. It’s pretty sweet – lonely (Come make phone calls!) – but pretty sweet. I was hired yesterday (randomly and suddenly) to be the head of GOtV for Middlebury (town and school) along with another girl from Dems. Is this a conflict [...]

Castro.” Also – an [...]

The Wonkette has a post right now that quotes a recent MSNBC Report: For Clinton to overtake Obama for the pledged delegate lead — which we think is the single most important statistic for the superdelegates to decide their vote — she’ll have to win 55% of the remaining delegates. Assuming next week goes Obama’s [...]

I think this has to be like my millionith post with this title. But that’s because I love Obama. Now I love him even more. He gets more eloquent and inspirational everyday. And not to mention stronger. Saturday? Holy crap. Sunday? Damn. Tomorrow? Shit son. It must really suck to be Hillary right now. You [...]

I hate being in a foreign country during major elections. (Note: That doesn’t mean I hate Dominica, I love Dominica.) But I felt incredibly disconnected last night, watching CNN with Calypso parade bands blaring in the background. It just wasn’t the same. There was nowhere I could stomp off to when CNN’s commentary just started [...]

I’m breaking the only rule for my Italian class right now and writing in English. But I figured it was fitting to mention this fact. Ciao, Johnny. Ti manchero’. It’s weird how his dropping out has too faces right now. One, that he ran a bad campaign from the start. And the other, like the [...]
