Wow what a day (so far!). After school i went to the inauguration at this restaurant that's pretty touristy. it was really an experience though, because there were all these people there listening and crying and clapping and cheering. I voted for McCain because of the abortion issue, but I am excited about this time in our history. I liked most of the prayer that that guy from California did, and the poem was beautiful, not to mention the acceptance speech.
I can't explain very well the feeling you have when you are in a foreign country and something brings all of the Estadounidences (united states-ers) together... it felt patriotic and personal. when we all covered our hearts for the national anthem and laughed together as Obama stumbled through his oath, there was a feeling of unity, even though we were all so far from home. I can't really explain it...but some of you might know what i mean.
Anyway, this girl that came in last night is from LA, and she is an actress. i found out she was actually the best friend of the title character in that show 'joan of arcadia...' i never watched it but i love joan of arc so i was excited. haha. I do really like her though, she is so different from my other housemates, in that she is quicker to laugh and will tell you how she feels and what she wants right away rather than letting you offend her by being forced to guess her meaning and guessing the wrong thing. (that's what my roommate from switzerland is like... its refreshing.
later i am going to a salsa class so i am excited about that :) i don't know what i'll do after, maybe go out and dance at a place or maybe not...this becky girl might like to party hardy, so we wouldn't come home till late if i went with her probably...but we'll see. and don't worry! i'll be very safe :)
love you lots, feel free to comment!
