(This is my first diary ever - I hope I'm doing things right...)

Saturday was an incredible experience I will not soon forget. I was a delegate for precinct 148 at the Travis County convention for Obama.

First of all, a bit background info: I'm a college student majoring in computer engineering, never in my life involved in politics before about 9 months ago when I became extremely interested in the Democratic nomination race. My precinct is made up of all the University of Texas students that live in the on-campus dorms. On March 4th, I waited in line for almost 2 hours to vote in the Texas primary and stood with the thousands of students who turned out to caucus, which ended up being complete chaos. Then I attended the precinct convention where we just wrote our names on a list if we wanted to be a delegate because the turnout was so large and it was already so late that there was no way we could have held formal nominations.

Now on to the county convention...
