I hung out with my roommate, Julie, all day. She's putting together a documentary for our trip. Anyway, she came up with my new slogan for the Dean campaign because of my funky skin virus: lepers for Dean! She's great. We had so much fun today. I swear, I have never laughed so much in my life. Everyone here is so hilarious.

I went to a medical dictionary online and the definition wasn't very helpful, but here it is: A mild anthematous inflammation of unknown etiology. It is characterized by the presence of salmon-colored maculopapular lesions. The most striking feature is the arrangement of the lesions such Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13204540364139573766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302106.post-1074993621439379622004-01-24T17:19:00.000-08:002004-01-24T17:22:27.170-08:00To all that tried to see my pics--they got changed since early this morning--BOO HOO!!!

However, ABC news came in and taped us doing this, but I doubt I'll be on tv. It was still exciting though! Braun came into the Dean campaign office in Manchester today. i didn't get to talk to her, but I saw her--another exciting moment.

He was so polite. Ok--let me start from the beginning: We woke up really early and went to meet Dante Scala--he's the author of this book we're reading for class, Stormy Weather (about the NH primary). Then we went to our campaign. When we got there, our campaign manager was like, "Do you want to go on the Rock Star bus?" Well, the Rock Star bus is this Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13204540364139573766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302106.post-1074859043271293342004-01-23T03:46:00.000-08:002004-01-23T03:59:26.310-08:00We went to the University of New Hampshire to listen to a professor there talk about polling. The campus is really beautiful--all brick and with the snow on top, it looked awesome. Then, I ate sushi, which reminded me of back home. Around 1:00 pm we got to our campaigns and started the day. There was a debate at St. A's college (St. Anslem's) and all the activists (campaigning staffs from theTeresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13204540364139573766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302106.post-1074738138477766152004-01-21T18:21:00.000-08:002004-01-21T18:24:20.060-08:00I just noticed all my spelling errors--sorry.

Wow--totally better than i would have ever expected. He is so passionate and moving for what he belives--now more than ever I support him. We went canvassing today--knocking on doors talking to people and then phonebanking--calling people at home. There were so many funny things that happened today: Joe S.

I was going to get up at 6:00 and write all my emails, but changed my mind when the alarm clock went off. Anyway, first I want to say taht I have the best roommate, Julie. Yesterday, I got in from campaigning around 7:00 pm and Julie had a latte waiting for me--she's the best. After campaigning last night, we went to to watch the State of the Union Address at a Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13204540364139573766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302106.post-1074644830541884522004-01-20T16:21:00.000-08:002004-01-20T16:29:10.700-08:00We went to the New Hampshire Democratic Party headquarters as well as the Republican headquarters and then to the State Capital--all in Concord. It was great--so much historic beauty in the buildings. After we met up with our campaigns, we went door-to-door knocking for about two hours. It was so cold--18 degrees, but with the windshield factor it felt like -50.

I was not really excited about this since Kerry came in first and Edwards in second, but afterwards Dean gave a speech. Although he looked liked a WWE wrestler, he was awesome. He spoke about how he was going to take back the other primaries--got to go to class...Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13204540364139573766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302106.post-1074562875563888742004-01-19T17:34:00.000-08:002004-01-19T17:43:14.280-08:00wow--so such an amazing day! we got up sooo early--not kosher--but had such a great time. after going to see a Libermen rally, we went to our campaigns--mine obviously being Howard Dean's.
