fantastic times

Today: It is so incredible to me that we have a black president.
and I wonder if in my day I'll see the first woman president.
and I was thinking today not just is this a historical moment but
Barack Obama is the first black male of significance to speak
on those steps since Martin Luther King Jr. only a day after
his birthday, he would be 80 years old were he still alive.
wow, this is just wow. this day, this generation. can't wait.

Yesterday: aw man yesterday was so great. Rachel, and Michaela,
and I went to see Slumdog Millionaire which is a great movie,
and I'm definitely buying it on dvd. AND WE SAW ARON!
my english teacher and michaela's theatre teacher from last year.
Um, I might as well not tell the story since Michaela you and rachel,
already know it, and its one of those location things. you had to be there :)

THE OPEN MIC WAS GREAT no matter what I say. It was the
most nerve-wracking/fun/liberating/amazing thing Ive done so far
and the other acts were inspiring, and funny, and fantastic.
Me and Caitlin Hill (sebu) have inside jokes now!

as for the audition (Rachel) apparently the list went up later today
so I will know what part I get tomorrow.
I auditioned for Aptos's musical Working, and its the only good
audition Ive had this year! Nathaniel made me famous! (not really)
he was going to help me practice, but it was fun even though we didn't.

I know this was from the campaign
but I loved this painting of it.
what a national symbol
