After my pedicure, I stopped at Uptown for a latte and then headed to the high school. There, a couple people and I registered to vote the seniors and anyone who would be 18 by November. It was really fun! Lots of people needed coaxing, but many didn't at all. It was amazing how many people didn't know a thing about voting -
"Are you registered to vote?"
"Vote for what?"
or
"I don't want to register."
"You can't vote if you don't."
"I don't want to vote."
Ohmigosh American teens are so lazy.
"My husband's in Irag, but I don't want to vote for either of the candidates."
On the upside, some said they were already registered to vote or had voted already:)
Then, it was back to Uptown to work for a little while. (Oh, I decided after talking with the girls that we could work out me staying at Uptown for the summer, which is a relief.) Mom came in at the end of my shift and I had lunch with her. After work I went with her to buy graduation cards. I also found a really funny father's day card - I hope my dad sees the sarcasim and the sincerity.
I did a little taebo this afternoon and met up with my friends at Applebees for dinner (thanks the to the wonderful gift certificate from Kari:). Kamran had the top down on the Jeep so we took a ride around the lake and then settled in at Jenny's to watch the Hours.
Caleb and Ben called during the movie. I struggled with watching the movie with my friends or leaving to go see Ben and call Caleb back. I chose friends, got Ben's voicemail, and called Caleb back later (I had to tell him all about my week.)
