Remember, remember, the fifth of November

Thank God. Watching the election last night was something I'll remember for the rest of my life. I'm Czech, and I was singing the American national anthem - with pride in my voice and heart for the country that partially raised me. The feeling was electric. When the screen announced that Barack Obama won the national election, the room erupted with screams. No words, just pure desperate vent of emotion.

And now we come back to the everyday. There are ideals to be upheld and love to carry and disillusion to face, but it will be remembered, and that night to me represents a hope shared by the sometimes disaffected kids of my generation. On the bright side, I just snuck the phrase "soon-to-be-ex-President Bush" into my hydrology (!) midterm (who gives a midterm the day after the future of the free world is decided?).

As Penny Lane said, it's all happening!

Incidentally, it snowed lately.
