I did it! I am now a certified pastry chef! I&#8217;ll upload pics of my final project later, but for now, I&#8217;m going to sleep for 4 days (after I drink too much at my graduation party!!!)
What am I doing after that, you ask? Well, I&#8217;m not planning on doing much before the new year. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;because 2008 is good for you and for the country&#8230;
I wish every election year was like this, at least for me. There was a HUGE line this morning around 9, so I decided to leave early from work to brave the line tonight. Good idea.
I didn&#8217;t have to wait outside at all (this was quarter [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A text message from someone wanting to get people to vote:
Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children could fly.
Here&#8217;s my plea to go vote. I hope you vote for Obama, but just get out there November 4th and vote.

		<description><![CDATA[In a world where entertainment was boring and unenlightening, where people couldn&#8217;t get excited about blockbuster films, where stories about two star-crossed lovers were glossed over like yesterday&#8217;s news, one man stood in the face of adversity and made America listen.

		<description><![CDATA[So Sarah Palin and her daughter are considered brave because the younger is keeping her not-conceived-in-wedlock child and is marrying the father. But millions of other women who may do this are a drain on society because many of them don&#8217;t have stable jobs or adequate education.

This word was thought up by someone who wanted to put a happy face on the fact that families can&#8217;t afford to travel this year (although you wouldn&#8217;t know about the lack of traveling from walking down any street in midtown Manhattan.)
