tonight's presidential race was so very exciting!! by 10pm EST, i was already jumping for joy. the final announcement as the west coast states came in took me by surprise, though. i didn't realize that the final verdict was going to come in so soon, and i was in the middle of cooking my dinner as i heard the announcement on my computer speakers. i had to drop everything and turn off the stove so i can witness the finale. i'm so glad to have been part of such a historic race. obama gave a great speech, but mccain was very sportsmanlike in his speech, too. mccain actually earned a lot of respect from me tonight on how well he took the news.
remember, we still have to be mindful of the people around us. everyone is entitled to their own views, so don't go bashing now. one person in power isn't going to change the world. we are the change, so we have to be the change we want to see in the world. and we have to work together and respect one another. :)
i really wish i were able to watch the race in a large gathering, like in downtown LA or something. i celebrated with my suitemates, but it's still not the same as being there with a bunch of people and really basking in the moment. i had a talk with michael ho right after and he pointed out that i will never get to witness such an incredible race as this as a college student ever again.
there was a bit of family problem that i had to deal with tonight, so it was hard for me to be excited about the race and then feel really sad about what happened to my mom. the dream that i wrote about a week and a half ago almost came true today, and it scared the crap out of me. she was involved in a bad car accident this morning, but she is fine right now. she's still in the hospital, but the nurse said that she was doing well after her surgery. i'm flying out in about 7 hours so i can spend her birthday with her and see how she's doing. :( that's the hardest thing about going to school so far away from home; i can't be there during the moments my family needs me most.
