Volunteering for Obama Post #2

My second time Volunteering for Obama was on October 6th with Melanie, and Connor!! Since it was their first time, and my second time volunteering it was fun to show them what to do! However, we got a bit lost looking for the development that was given to us. If I can remember correctly, we were driving around in circles for at least an hour! Instead of giving us a neighborhood, the headquarters gave us a group of condominiums. The only problem was finding out if we were allowed to go inside and take polls about the campaign. At first, we stood outside not sure what to do, then we quickly went inside and looked for our first apartment number. It was really quiet in the halls, so at first it was a bit awkward being the loudest people around. Later on we went back and checked with the front desk to double-check and make sure that everything was allowed, and it was! For the majority of the night we had no luck and very few opened their doors to us. Since we were volunteering from 6 to 9, we were thinking many people were out for dinner, having dinner, or weren't home at the time. So ending that night, we probably had 30ish people answer their doors, leaving more than a hundred unanswered. It was still a fun night!!
