obama

we went to the school to watch the obama inauguration last tuesday. we all thought that it would be in english with spanish subtitles but when it started they were translating over the english in spanish so you could hardly hear what they were saying. so we all got on our comps and listened to it on cnn. 

pretty much every person i have talked to, not just from spain but from europe, is super excited about obama and we went up 10x in their books because we elected obama. it has to do with the war and invading, i have heard many reasons but they were so excited for obama and even when we first got here that was one of the first things people talked about when i said i was from the US.

while we were watching it a reporter came to talk to us she was interested in our opinions about obama as american students. of course i was the first person she talked to and i had kind of prepared an idea of what i wanted to say in my head but of course when she put her recorder in my face i went blank...i just remember saying that this was the first election i voted in because i thought it was so important and i was interested to see what he was going to do and if he is going to live up to his campaign promises...and i just remember being really red. it was interesting though and she interviewed every one of us. but for days after his inauguration it was still all over the news.
