Obama’s inauguration was today. People from all over the globe were streaming into websites to watch it. Or turning on their televisions.
I did neither. For some reason this was not as exciting as the elections back in November. He already got the job, all he needed was the official bit.
I like the fact that America made history today, but somehow it will never be as exciting as the day after the election. After all, you don’t often do this, right?
Yes We Can written on my forehead and cheeks
I was so excited I couldn’t stop smiling all morning, and on my way to school decided that I had to do something big. (This was back in november, and not today) So I dropped into a farmacy and bought some eyeliner. Which I then used to paint my cheeks, with the help of a nice girl a year below me.
I got funny looks all day, and my little brother and sister have never been more embarrassed (YES! xD), but it felt good to do so.
I kept trying to get people to chant YES WE CAN with me, but they wouldn’t D:
I wish I could have seen the inauguration live.
I got to skip art class to see it live, and it was absolutely incredible! I mean, the inauguration wasn’t that exciting, but all the energy was great. I was screaming and shouting and clapping along with lots of other people, and it was just amazing.
Ha! Nice! There was a projector set up in the cafeteria at my school, so that’s where I watched it during lunch.
