yes we did

that was one of the most intense experiences i've ever had! i was really tired and about to go to bed (my friend was going to come wake me up when the election was ending to hear the results) but right as i was about to go to my room, the campus erupted! there was shouting in the halls and everyone flooded outside, singing dancing jumping hugging screaming and laughing. someone shouted about fireworks and we set off running, and ended up in the middle of a parade filled with drums and chants and more dancing. we danced in front of the library for who knows how long! a few people realized that obama was giving his acceptance speech, so i went to my friends house to watch, and i must say, that man is quite the speaker. often times with things like this it can be hard for me to follow what is being said, but with obama's speech, i understood it just fine, and it really meant a lot hearing what he had to say. most of the people in the room had teared up, and it was nice to sit with them all and let it sink in. after which, we caught a small parade (with saxophones!) back to the dorms. :)

happy obama day!
