Obama is PRESIDENT!

So I drove all the way back to Staten Island yesterday to go vote and go to a union rally for my local 508 lifeguard union. I missed all of my classes. I was so beat from writing a 20 page paper the night before that I didn't bother going to the rally. Oh well.

When I went to go vote, i was expecting to see lines around the corner, like i'd been hearing on the radio the entire hour and a half drive home. I walked in and I was one of 4 people in the park house that I had to go to to vote. 

SoI went home and took a nap. Around 4 I woke up and started watching coverage of the election. I was pretty sure that Obama was going to win the whole night. 

My boyfriend and I drove around to look for a bar full of people watching the coverage, to no avail. So we got some beers and hung out with my mom and watched. 

I thought McCain's defeat speech was very nice. He urged people to support Obama as a president and said that the better candidate won the battle.  

Obama's speech was extremely moving. He really made me feel like he was really committed to changing the country. My favorite part of his speech was when he said that his girls eared the new puppy coming with them to the white house. 

I came back to campus this morning and my roommates said that people on campus were going crazy. People were shooting off fireworks, running around screaming "yes we can!" and "Obama is President!" I kind of wish i was here last night. I heard the live coverage from SB Now was a huge success, which is really cool too.
