Chelsea Clinton at IU

I read an article in Lafayette's Journal and Courier newspaper this morning talking about the Bill and Chelsea Clinton's visit to Indiana tomorrow in order to campain for Hillary. I was excited to see that Hillary will be visiting IU tomorrow evening, but then my excitement was promptly halted. Stupid biology lab, why do you have to be on Monday? I'm doing an important experiment this week, so I won't be able to go over to the Auditorium to see her speak. Apparently, Sean Astin, star of Rudy and The Lord of the Rings, is traveling with her to help promote the campaign. What a monumental occasion. Indiana's voice never really counts, so the candidate's rarely make stops here. On the one day they do, however, I am learning about something as stupid as yeast mutation. AHHHH!! Bill Clinton is going to be speaking at West Lafayette High School, about 20 minutes from my house. This is a historical moment for our city; I only wish I could witness the event. I'm sure security will be incredibly intense. Perhaps when Obama comes to visit (if he comes to IU...) I will be able to attend his campaign rally. Until then, I will just read CNN's website for further updates on the presidential race.
