Today was a good day.

Today I felt one of those moments pass over me where I know I’ll “remember where I was” when Barack Obama was sworn in as president. Our office of 10 people gathered around a small television in the conference room and watched history unfold in front of us. I remember how still the moment was. Both of my hands wrapped around a warm cup of morning coffee, all of my coworkers silent and motionless. As I looked around the room to capture the moment, never have I felt our small group more cohesive and more unified.
Much like his speech in Grant Park, today President Obama gave a somber speech on the tough road that lies ahead. When I came back to my desk, I had a very proud yet humble feeling to work extremely hard at my job today, as if every American has to put in their 100% effort for us to succeed. In other words, I was inspired. Never forget the feeling to keep trying your best at everything you do.
I certainly celebrated today.
Just not in the way I imagined.

I had to work today, but I watched the live coverage on Hulu. I started crying at my desk – I was so happy! I’m glad I was able to watch it as it was happening :)
I didn’t go out, as I am trying to save money, but I celebrated with a nice home-cooked dinner and a big slice of cake.

Setting my alarm...

The Inauguration is showing live in Australia at 3am.
I will be going to bed early and setting my alarm so I can wake up and watch it.
I cannot wait!
To me, this is like watching the first man on the moon or Princess Diana’s wedding. In 10 years time, everyone will be asking where you were when it happened. I will happily say that I was watching it all live.
So.

Obama “We can do it!”
