In the past week

7 November 2008

The past week has been pretty eventful, I must say.

On the international scene, we saw Lewis Hamilton becoming the youngest F1 champion and the first black person to win the title too; then there was the American election, where Barack Obama won and is not set to become America’s first black president.

I’m not a fan of F1, so I’ll leave that bit of news be… especially since I actually have nothing to say. But about Obama…

I heaved a huge sigh of relief when I got to know he won. Got a text from F at 3.20am, saying that Obama’s definitely going to win, and another text an hour later from my brother saying he’s definitely won. Now, I’ve been wondering…. if he has a black parent and a white parent, he is as much an African-American as he is a Caucasian right?? Why does that make him the first black president?? O_o Hmmm… Never a huge fan of racial issues, they confuse me.

Now, on a personal front… I finally got that jobs application thing in, and life has been wonderful since I clicked the submit button about 20 hours ago. :-) It took me a long time to find the guts to click that little blue thing, but I did it, and it felt good.

It’s just a matter of sitting, waiting and hoping for January now…
