WE DID IT!!!! I cannot tell you how happy I have been for the last 22 hours. What a great day for our country. We can overcome fundamentalist idiots, people scared of assuring equal rights, fear incentives in endless wars, holds on women's lib, religious rhetoric, and other awful side effects of Republicans in power. Thank god we are out of the dark ages. Here comes the hope, here comes the change, here comes our future. We did it! I was so happy.
I was happy even through the four, long rehearsals that I had. I was happy through my classes and the ridiculous news that I have to take comps. Comps are, for those who don't know, sort of placement tests to scale all of your knowledge that you ever learned in the entirety of your degree. I was initially out of taking them, because of old rules combining with new ones. I have to take them now though, and that blows. I was happy though, even when I did terribly in my Mozart Requiem voice lesson. I was happy even when I had to wake up at 6:30 AM for an 8 o'clock doctor's appointment.
I had a really long day, but I am still hopeful and I am still happy. We have the tools for change. Thank god.
Now I just have to graduate, and sing until I am so tired of singing that I won't do it again... or at least for another week.
Here is your video, Obama's acceptance speech. It was beautiful.
