Voting Day

Voting is kind of a scary event. To me, it felt like I was going in for a test. I only had to wait in line for fifteen min. It took me about as long to vote. It took me forever! I was just so scared. First I did not know what I was doing. At first I was confused on where I put the line. Then my brain caught up with the process and it was not that difficult. I don't know why I was having a hard time understanding that. Then, I went over every propostion at least twice. I was just scared that I would mark something wrong. So, it took me forever to vote. A person in the ward thought it was funny that I was taking such a long time.
After I got out of the place, I felt a new feeling. I don't even know how that feeling feels. I want to say more responsible. Well, maybe it was just the fact that I was part of the world that day. I put in my vote. I got a sticker and I wore it all day. I was surprised it stayed on that long.
Then the next morning, I woke up and heard that Obama won. There seemed to be a new presence in the air. We no longer have Bush as president. It is now Obama. It is kind of weird for me. Did you think that the presence in the air was different?
