its been a while.

Throughout the last year I have been completely consumed with life, nearly forgetting about this blog. But I'm back! My life is so hectic that I cannot keep anything straight.
Through all of the things I'm dealing with when it comes to school and work I try to keep up with politics and everything that is going on in the news. I am thrilled and feel it is a privilege to have taken part in a history changing election. Last night Senator Barack Obama won the Presidential Election. Although I am not black I feel a sense of pride for our country more than I ever have before. To think that we have come this far, I voted for him and I hoped he would win but I was unsure. But when I heard the results last night on the news it all seemed so real. Driving to class this morning I was still taking it all in, the reality of all of it, and I caught myself on the verge of tears. I am overwhelmed with the fact that my new president is a black man and blue is finally back in the white house.
Today is sincerely a great day to be an American.
