History in the making and other cliches in action.

America has elected Barrack Obama as its next president. This is incredible. I am hardly a staunch democrat, but just from a racial perspective this is really ground breaking. Even 20 years ago, hell, even 10 years ago, this would have been impossible. It is time to see if the changes perscribed to America can be actualized, if the dream can be drempt. I am extreamly curious to see how all of this plays out, I feel like the next few weeks will be, more notably then before, iving history, a pagent of an adolescent America. Old wounds heal slowly, but perhaps we have the medicine now.

I watched the election in my friend Jaimes room with him, Natalie, Elise, Heather, Kyle and for a short time Jaimes girlfriend, Ashley. It was a pleasant experiance, but I never thought the election would end up being as one sided as it was. It really seemed as if Obama dominated McCain. Put him to shame. When it happened, and Obama was pronounced the president elect, I was in shock. Maybe its because my historical expertise lays in 19th century and 20th century America, not exactly a time of glowing race relations, but I feel like a black president is an incredible and nigh unbelivable thing. There are not enough words to really express how incredible this is, so I'll just let it sort of sink into the readers mind on their own.

America has changed, shed aside the tethers of slavery and oppression, or at least moved so that they stand in the shadowy background, and has become something new and hopefully better. Lets see how this all plays out.

School has been pretty good, been pretty happy lately. Went Cha Cha dancing randomly tonight, haha. It was awkward, as I kne wit would be. Then we had a very successful house council meeting, and then a late dinner and some leisure time. Working out has been good, I ahve decided to start doing more cardio then I am doing. I dont think I am very athletically balanced, and I need to work on becoming a better athlete overall. If my strength doesent skyrocket for a while, thats fine.

Hmm, mgiht be going to montreal this weekend again. Still not for sure, but I think I'd like to.

Thats all I feel like writing right now, but I do have a lot more to say. Next post, readers!
