My OperaCrossing my fingers

So, today is the election day in Norway...
I already voted, before I even left Norway... I guess I've been here for a month, but it does seem like an eternity since I saw you last... I miss you people!
My parents are coming to visit me in a month, I'll show them my whole new life, how I actually do (most of) my homework on time, how funny my physics professor is, how awesome it is that I an run to my classes in 7 minutes if I have to, the fact that I've randomly decided to be a vegetarian for a month (not including sushi, I crave it). Anyway... they'll see all of that. And they won't understand any of it. Whatever
Oh yeah: Election... all I can do now is cross my fingers.
The most important thing for me is that people I love can be happy and have the same opportunities as everybody else.
Incredibly enough, such a distant and impersonal act as voting can help keep my home keep being one of the good places to live, where people are treated fairly. Of course i'd like to contribute in closer ways to their happiness, by.. you know... being there, seeing them, more than twice a year, etc. But I can't and that's life, and that's why I vote, because its the only thing I can do, for Norway, and for everything I love about that place.
*Crosses fingers*
I miss you!
