Back At The Helm

My apologies for what has rapidly become a particularly protracted absence. Much of my time of late has been devoted to the Mock Election Project, which has become something of a rite of passage for seniors at University High. As party chair for the Incredicrats, I've been putting in almost six hours a day for the last few weeks. Election day is January 26, after which I'm likely to collapse for several days. Sometimes, it's amusing how involved we can become in an election that is ultimately completely fictional. Then again, it's too bad nobody would vote for us in real life. Check out our party's platform and kickin' flash animation at incredicrats.com.

In other news, since I've been gone I've been both accepted to the University of Chicago and informed that I'll have to sell several of my organs, in defiance of state and federal law, in order to attend. I underwent an interview as a Flinn scholarship semifinalist that felt like a Senate confirmation hearing, narrowly survived a post office riot over a shortage of two-cent stamps, and re-learned how to code standards-compliant CSS and make delicious chocolate milkshakes. Most importantly, however, we have finally ordered the Vivalympics shirts. Expect them shortly. It's good to be back.
