It's (sort of) official, I'm a Democrat now.

So, Francine Busby came to my school today, at the behest of the Democrat Club. My Polisci professor caught me on my way to go sit down and have a quiet lunch while I waited for Steph to get out of class and asked if I would stay and help fill the seats (since they were all noticably empty just 10 minutes before she was due to speak). I agreed, and soon after Mrs. Busby arrived I was surrounded by other students, most of whom were members of the Democrat Club (some students from the Rebuplican Club also attended). I ended up sitting right next to one of my managers from work, who writes for the school newspaper. In short, Mrs. Busby said nothing remotely interesting or thought provoking and I ended up leaving early when Steph called.

Later that day, when I got to work, my manager told me that I would probably get my picture put in next weeks's paper. She said the photographer specifiaclly asked her for my name. Upon hearing this I immediately began invisioning the picture of me sitting with Democrats, listening to Francine Busby speak, right on the front page of the Palomar College Telescope. Below the picture is the caption: "David Nilsen joins Palomar College Democrats in welcomming Francine Busby to speak on campus last thursday morning." And thus any hope of my running for President as a Republican someday is lost. Haha. If such a picture does end up in the paper next week, I'll be sure to post it up here.

That's all I wanted to say, I figured I was due for a short, to the point entry. I'll write something far more profound when next I feel inspired to do so. I just thought this little anicdote was amusing enough to share.
