uh oh. presidential elections were this weekend and things went smoothly for the most part. until the results came back, and then, well, the problems began.

felipe calderon, the somewhat conservative received 36.5% and lopez obrador received 35.6% (roughly). so about 1% serparates them. unlike gore in 2000, neither guy caved. in fact, they both announced that they had won. kind of funny actually. until the protestors began freaking out. then it was not so much funny as scary.

thus we will not know the final results until wednesday. i am a little worried, for numerous reasons, but the main one is devaluation of currency. i am hoping that the peso does not suffer too much bc of this (the exchange rate has recently gotten worse as the elections neared) for i have student loans to pay and thus i have to transfer money from pesos to dollars each month.

that is the news for now. i will let you know when i hear more.
