Go Obama!!

I thought I would express how excited I am that Barack Obama is the president elect and Joe Biden is going to be vice president.

I have been religiously watching cnn for the past two weeks, going on little sleep, and I am pretty sure I pissed off everyone of my roommate... but I loved ever second of it.

My night consisted of waking up, working out, eating, watching cnn, showering, watching more cnn, and then celebrating.
during the course of the night my roommate Pam tried taking the remote away from me when I walked out of the room for a split second to talk to my Mom on the phone.  I came back into the room and just blankly stared her down politely just asked her what was she doing?
She wanted to see "a big map of the country turning different colors."
she clearly did not understand that it takes time for the map to change colors.
needless to say I got the remote back.

the night followed with my neighbors and friends thinking I’m crazy for caring about the election... but at the same time they all asked me ridiculous questions that I assumed any American should know. I suppose the one day my major isn't pointless is election day... and the one day I actually get to use the knowledge I've been learning in school.

After obama had about 150 Electoral College votes I knew... well everyone knew he was going to be president... at that time McCain had barely any and Florida, Cali, and all the west coast votes hadn't been counted yet.

It was really slightly weird for me because four years prior I remember being up until the middle of the night trying to figure out who was going to win.  I was not use to seeing elections being over so quickly.

After they officially projected him as the winner Vista Way went crazy. (I was going crazy in my apt... my Republican roommates still thought I was crazy) I walked outside and there were 100’s of people just chanting for obama and chanting "No More Bush"
I took some videos to try to put up but the computer I am using wouldn't let me.

After about 20 minutes security came and yelled at us and threatened the group stating that this was "automatic termination" if we continued.
so everyone left and the party was then transformed into individual apartments.

I went over to Jeremy to watch Obama speech... and it was so surreal.
At this one moment everyone at Vista Way feel completely silent.
I watched his speech about 3 1/2 times through out the night.
 It was amazing.

After that I went to my neighbors to celebrate and I loved it b/c people who I just meet one or two times wanted to know my opinion b/c they knew I was a political science major. (And once again it made me feel smart!)

We watched some more CNN and I realized that I have no idea what I am going to do now that the election is over with.
they did a thing where they showed clips from the last 2 years of the campaign season and it made me really sad, bc the majority of the things they showed I remember and was apart of.

I went to bed feeling really good about my self and the country. And there is nothing that could really upset me right now.

And Stephanie is coming up today which is also amazing... not as amazing but close.
