Today UNCA functioned on a delay because of snow. However, because I commute I could not master driving over the glacier that surrounded my house and opted to stay home and perform a celebratory inauguration/snow dance in my PJs.
Today finished the final chapter of my first presidential election as a legal adult—my first time researching a candidate, voting, and finally watching the inauguration. It would have been nice to have watched it on the big screen at school with snacks but I won’t be picky.
I expected a larger than normal turn out for the inauguration of President Obama but the estimated 1.5 million people than came truly shocked me.
It’s amazing to see how one person could stir up so many people around the world—including the kindergarten class I worked with last semester that would burst into Obama chants when the teacher would count down the days until Election Day.
Despite the excitement, I am pretty sure those people were freezing. I’m glad I was at home in my PJs.
