So just yesterday it was announced that Barack Obama would be speaking today at my school. Somehow I missed the announcement and had I known I would have seriously avoided campus today. There were people from the senate, the house, the mainstream press, JFK’s daughter and brother, and tons of secret service. That’s right. Secret Service.

I was on my way to class when I was stopped for “looking suspicious” though I have no idea what I was doing that was suspicious.  The agent asked to search my bag and I let him. While he was doing so I said “Can I just go? All I’m trying to do is to get to class. I don’t care about any of this politics-crap.” ((Let me pause for a second and explain The Patriot Act. The Act made it so that protesters can’t show up at political events and if they do show up they have to be registered and stand in a designated area.)) So apparently my apathy toward politics meant that I was a “protester” and as a result I wasn’t allowed to enter the building where my classes were being held (the building where my classes are connects to the building that Obama gave his speech in).

I hate politics. Plus after missing my first class I went home and a few hours later I went to go to my second class and my car didn’t start. Grrrrrr.
