Today's Roundup Folks

I am getting really beat with all this effort I am putting but I so love it baby :-)

I slept for 3 hours only last night trying to google where the hell "Mounira" is in Egypt.. and where the hell "El Sheikh Ali Youssef Street" was in "Mounira". Then I got on to Google Earth to find out how to get there (I feel like a whale on the Himalayas when I'm in central Cairo). Not to mention I had to give a girl, who wanted to join, the slip, because she was still at the dentist and we were already running late.

THEN THEY STARTED AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER!! Bummer..

Anyway, overall the meeting was pretty productive.. and I'm too sleepy and tired to discuss anything.. but the main thing is... I am an official election monitor today! Tommorrow I will try to call the El Ghad party and try to get them to license me as a party representative in case the guys running the polling stations do not allow me inside as an election monitor.

Oh and let me get my thoughts organized with this TO DO LIST I had... :

1) Get my new Personal ID in place of the one that was lost. MISSION COMPLETED.

2) Get my voting card. MISSION PENDING.

3) Call my friend to get him to come with me to get HIS voting card. His year of birth is earlier so turns out he needs to come in November after all. Hehehehe.. MISSION FAILED.

4) Call our friend to get her to come with us to get HER voting card. Too Tired?
:-( MISSION ABORTED.

5) Post about yesterday's judges' convention. Or Not. I decided Not :-D There is only so much I can do without sleep. MISSION ABORTED.

6) Call my relative to check whether there is any update regarding my helping out in the election monitoring. Hell I did it myself. MISSION COMPLETED.

7) If no update, try to call the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights myself to see if there is any way I can enroll in the election monitoring process. MISSION ABORTED.

8) Make sure to get today's verdicts regarding the appeal against the referendum results and the appeal against the PEC chairman's decision to ban election monitoring in the polling stations.Let me quickly mention this:

Case Results:
Case 1: N/A
Case 2: Although I mentioned that this was postponed to the 17th. I read that they ruled one of the candidates out of the election. Maybe I mixed up with Case 1 on which was the one to be postponed.
Case 3: Verdict in favour of allowing election monitors and "whoever wishes" to monitor the elections inside and outside the polling stations.
Case 4: Verdict postposed to 29th November. :-/

Small note: The Presidential Elections Committee decided that they will NOT abide by the ruling :-/ I'm just too tired to throw insults. Anyway, MISSION COMPLETED.

9) If no hope in being part of an official election monitoring campaign, talk to my friend's friend who is a young officer to check if it is possible to be allowed permission to individually run an opinion poll inside my police station.MISSION ABORTED.
