Well now that I've had a chance to write my cheesy little bit on the election I'll fill you all in on what I've been doing recently.
Tuesday night I got an invitation to go to a party hosted by the American Amabssador at the guinness store house. It was c-razy. They had hotdogs and doughnuts and lots of red white and blue. Pretty much the most legit thing I'd ever been to. Just about every Irish mover and shaker was there. Probably most of the Dail and their staffs, lots of rich people, air force generals and what not. They had CNN up on a giant screen and the place went nuts every time Obama won a state.
They were loosers in one regard though, they kicked us out before they called the election. This being said they kicked us out at about 5 so I guess I can't be to angry. I went to my friends dorm at trintity to watch the rest, but her computer wouldn't stream CNN so I missed Obama's speech.
That was ok though because when I got home after school the next day I watched it and - I'll admit it - I cried a little when he started talking about the 106 year old woman. What a life.
They kept on showing pictures of Chicago and I was so home sick. Since then facebook has exploded with pictures my friends took at the rally. I think all of DePaul was in grant park. 250,00 people showed up within grant park alone (not to mention the 1 million who wathced from out side). It's hard to imagine going to something where the attendance is about twice the size of Bloomington-Normal alone! I'm in the Dail right now but clearly not much is going on because I'm blogging.
My friend Roxie will be here on friday I can't wait. Then on the 22nd Mom, Grace, Dan and Mackenzine!
Should be great fun
That's it for now
