Last night...

...history was made. Obama is our president-elect. Wow. A good half of my campus swarmed across campus, then through town, screaming and cheering the entire way. We congregated in the center of town and sang the national anthem. Once we got back to campus, an impromptu jazz concert was underway, and even more dancing and screaming and cheering and chanting and crying ensued. It was magical and amazing. I didn't cry last night, but I've gotten a bit teary remembering last night and the overwhelming energy and joy that flooded our campus. Here's to change!

P.S: Really, California? Y'all had to pass Prop. 8?

Election Day

It's been quite a while, eh? Not too much has happened, but this...tomorrow's Election Day. Now, I'll say it in all caps because it's important. GO VOTE!!! DO IT!!! It's important, even if you just vote for a third party candidate, VOTE. So what if you hate McCain AND Obama. Vote Green Party or a third party or write someone in! Just VOTE! No matter what happens, this is a historical election. Be a part of it, so when you have grandkids, you can tell them that you voted for the first black president of the United States, or you voted against the first black presidential candidate. Or you voted for someone completely different. Don't just be a spectator. Be a part of making history. It could be a once-in-a-lifetime chance. If Obama wins, there will never be another first black president. If McCain wins, there will never be another first black presidential candidate. This is huge, and exciting. Get caught up in the fever, and vote.
