I take it back!!

So the weekend went by super fast! I totally had one of those moments where you wish you could take back what you said. I was at the Great American Market registering voters with the League of Women Voters. It was extra credit for class and sounded like a good time. I saw one of my teachers and we made awkward eye contact like should we speak to each other outside of class kind of thing. I asked if he was registered to vote and he was like no not here. I was like do you want to register to vote today? He said no. I was not thinking and said, Why not? Bad choice to ask someone why they don't want to register. Politics are already so sensitive and I was completely not thinking. He responded with I don't believe in voting. I had no idea on how to respond so I just said aww that's too bad, and he walked away. 

I thought about this experience all day and night and into Monday. I am now scared to go to class because I am not sure what to do about it. I know that I should not have pressured him but sometimes stupid stuff comes out of my mouth. Literally the story of my life. Any bad situation I have been in is caused by me saying something I shouldn't have. Hopefully the teacher won't hold it against me. Who knows what will happen.

A New Perspective: 

Today was A-MAZING!! I am the philanthropic chairman for my sorority. I love it, I love creating events for people to see how they can change the community around them with just the time they spend. I would love to do more but it's tough in a world steeped in tradition to be a game changer. That aside I really do love my position. In two weeks there is a huge community service activity we sponsor with a fraternity. This is the 20th anniversary for this event to happen! (That is a REALLY long time in college terms.) So we asked a radio station if we could record a commercial and they play it the week of the event. Well.... they said YES! So today the fraternity boy and I went and recorded the commercial!! It was life changing. I loved every minute of it. The guy editing the sound bites, the way our voices flowed together so nicely, the feel of being in the radio station. It was all so much fun. It was exciting and thrilling and amazing. My new dream job is to work on the radio. That is my new goal I am going to work towards. I know, I know it's a jumbled life.
