Obama hat gewonnen!

While I think that being in America on Tuesday night at 11 o'clock would have been memorable, I think that celebrating in Germany was wonderful. I did not attempt to stay awake the whole night. Instead, I woke at 7 o'clock (1 a.m. EST) to a massive number of bbms informing me of the event. That, of course, started my day off on the right foot. I had to fetch my VISA an hour and a half later and I was excited that I would only need it for one year, not for the next four. Throughout my day, I was more than surprised by the personal attention I received for Obama's victory - I received two congratulatory texts, one hug, and one rose. It felt like my birthday!
