Joe won.
Thank you for coming to this Ted Talk!
Just kidding. Welcome to week four of my formative posts. Incase you didn’t get the memo, there is something I’m eager to discuss. Joe Biden won the American election, beating Donald Trump and becoming the 46th president-elect of the United States. After what was like an eternity of waiting for the winner to be called, Joe won the electoral college votes on Saturday and he and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris made speeches later that evening. Watching their speeches, especially Kamala’s live was like watching the end of a movie, a really happy movie. While the election has been called, Nevada still hasn’t finished counting votes which has become the meme of the week of course second to Anderson Cooper calling Trump an obese turtle. More on Kamala’s speech is definitely necessary as she made history in becoming the first female, South Asian, and black Vice President. Her speech was undeniably one of the most inspiring things to ever come out of an American election, especially in the past 4 years. Okay I should probably move on to another topic before I get to political but I will mention that watching the outpour of support and rejoice coming out of American citizens is amazing and this election is definitely a cause for celebration.

For the past week I’ve been working towards my final product being complete and audience ready. Like all things PLP, this has come with much difficulty, especially in the technical area. I swear if GarageBand crashes on me again I’m going to mentally combust. On a lighter note, my content and overall recording has been great so far and I’ll be starting my revisions soon! As the end of this project nears I become more anxious about my final product, which isn’t beneficial in the area of concentration but is only natural. All I can do is work hard to get my episode to the point where I’m proud of the content I’ve created.
Overall this week has been eventful to say the least. Exhausting is a good word to describe it. With everything else, our community has put forward some new COVID restrictions for the next two weeks as cases have recently spiked. While this does make me a little sad, it’s much better than the alternative of gong back into a full lockdown like last spring. Hopefully the plan goes well and our numbers drop soon.
