it's all about change 5:42 PMYes, this post is a few days late. But yes, Obama for President. I love Obama.
What a charismatic guy he is indeed. For the longest time ever; the whole talk about "change". And who knows exactly what this change will be? I don't know - maybe nobody knows, but everybody certainly loves him. And I love him too. Such is the power of charisma.
So perhaps people were fed up with the Republican policies for the past 8 years, which'd led to the country going down the drain and the world a rather unsafe place to live in. Or maybe they were just happy to see Bush go, haha. Whatever it is, change is definitely good for now, though it should prove to be a real gradual process in tough times like this.
The euphoria is now over, and Obama has to be down-to-earth and prove himself to the world. After all, US is still (considered) a superpower to which the rest of the world continues to look up to and admire. His performance is crucial to how people will view US in the future, or whether there will be a levelling of powers across the globe. Interesting times indeed - and putting everything into perspective, perhaps things aren't as bleak as what they'd seemed just a couple of months back. Maybe the prospects of the job market will turn around by early next year, with more optimism brimming in the air. :)
Freeze our Tuition Fees!
And just like how Americans'd stepped forth to initiate the revolutionary change for their own good - further up north, too, students in Canada'd stepped forward in an effort to make things better for themselves. The provincial government of Manitoba had recently announced a lift of the tuition freeze, leading to a possible dramatic hike in tuition fees commencing 2009.
So last Wednesday, some hundreds of university students all across Manitoba gathered in front of the Winnipeg Legislative Building, in an attempt to rally and petition against the provincial decision. I don't know what the outcome is or will be, but it's intriguing seeing how people here stand up and speak up for/against matters close to their hearts..

About me
You are an enthusiastic innovator, always seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things. You have a lot of imagination and initiative for starting projects, and a lot of impulsive energy for carrying them out. You are stimulated by difficulties and are most ingenious in solving them. You can get so interested in your newest project that you have time for little else. Your energy comes from a succession of new enthusiasms and your world is full of possible projects. Your enthusiasm gets other people interested too.
Your feeling preference shows in a concern for people. You are skillful in handling people and often have remarkable insight into the possibilities and development of others. You are extremely perceptive about the attitudes of others, aiming to understand rather than judge people. You are much drawn to counseling and can be inspired and inspiring teacher, particularly where you have freedom to innovate. With talent, you can succeed in almost any field that captures your interest.
A difficulty for you is that you hate uninspired routine and find it remarkably hard to apply yourself to sometimes necessary detail unconnected with any major interest. Worse yet, you may get bored with your own projects as soon as the major problems have been solved or the initial challenge has been met. You may need to learn to follow through and finish what you have begun, but are happiest and most effective in jobs that permit one project after another, with somebody else taking over as soon as the situation is well in hand.
Hearsay? Say here.
