Today was pretty awesome. Even though I was late to school. Stupid half days with stupid 7:25 start....
Classes were only an hour long today. So that was kind of nice. We watched a documentary in AP Gov. on how effed up our democracy is. Apparently even the most technologically inept--yet politically passionate--person could hack into the voting machines and skew the results. And the companies that made the machines--who were notorious for accepting bribes from specific political parties (in the movie it was the Republican Party, but I don't think the bribes were coming from just them)--did NOTHING to fix the programming and codes on these machines...even when all of the codes were, at one point, online for public viewing.
It's weird to think that by the next time our country is ready to elect a new president, I'll be able to vote. But based on these findings...maybe not.
Had my first audition today. This was the big one, though, the one for Wind Ensemble. I actually feel really good about my audition, though. I hope I get the chair (that's parts for the music we'll play all year) I want. We'll see in a few weeks.
