An Exciting Day
It’s a little past 1:00 am here in Seoul as I start to type this. Normally, I’d be in bed by now. Tonight (or this morning I suppose) I’m staying up to catch Obama’s inauguration on CNN International. I don’t have any classes to teach on Wednesday mornings, but it wouldn’t stop me from staying up if I did.
This inauguration is historic not only for Obama’s skin color or the number of people there to see it. It’s historic also because we can finally say goodbye to the worst president, and the worst administration, ever to set foot in the White House. The only thing that is more exciting than welcoming Obama is saying goobye and good riddance to Bush. I’ll be flipping on CNN shortly, as I believe the swearing in begins at 11:30 am EST (0r 1:30 am KST for me).
