We managed to catch the last metro downtown around 1:50 AM or so. We exited the metro at the Metro Center stop, right in the center of the city. We walked a few blocks until we found a small waffle house and had some breakfast. The restaurant was right by a gate into the secure area around the parade route and the mall, but we decided to walk up a few more blocks to a different one. By about 4:00 AM, the streets were already beginning to swell with people. My group of seven other friends and I stood huddled in a circle trying to keep warm; we sang songs and joked around. Around 5:00 AM, the intersection in which we were waiting to enter the security check point was completely packed with people. All of a sudden, everyone rushed forward towards the black metal gates that were separating us from the security tent. <br /> For the next four hours we stood shoulder to shoulder and face to face with complete strangers all waiting to be let through the gates. It was a surreal experience being part of a crowd that dense; at some points I barely felt as if I was supporting myself, the people that I was surrounded by were doing it for me. <br /> At some point, our group got split up into two: me and my two friends, Maia and Sarah, and the five others. They managed to get through the small door in the black gate some time before we did. The military personnel that were directing the flow of people through the gate were only letting about eight total through at a time, about every 5 minutes. Progress was slow but we eventually managed to get through. Again, the force of the crowd literally pushed me through the gate. <br /> After we made it to the other side of security we tried to figure out where we were. As it turned out we were on the north side of Pennsylvania Avenue, the parade route. We wanted to be on the Mall. We asked several different people for if there was any way we could get to the Mall and each time received several different answers. It was frustrating but at the same time, I was thrilled to be out of the huge crowd of people. We attempted to make our way to a supposed cross over point only to find out that by that time the Mall was filled with people. I was a little disappointed that we waited all that time and didn't manage to make it to the Mall, but at the same time, we were still there, in DC, where everything was happening.<br /> Two of my friends decided to go back to campus; the cold and crowds were too much for them. Four of us ended up finding a nice spot to sit and wait for the ceremony to start. By this time it was already about 11:00 AM. At about quarter to 12 we noticed groups of people huddled against big windows of a restaurant, watching the TVs that were showing the ceremony inside. We found our own window and were able to watch and hear the ceremony. <br /> Everyone was waiting for the moment when Obama would finish his oath of office. When he did there was an eruption of joy and emotion; my friends and I were moved to tears and shared a group hug. It was really an incredible feeling, regardless of my location, to be in DC during that momentous occasion. <br /> We silently listened to Obama's first speech as president; the millions were silent, listening, reflecting on the future, and remembering the past. It was a surreal twenty minutes. <br /> After the speech was over, we decided to go back to campus. Having spent 12 hours outside in the cold, the thought of waiting two more for the parade to begin was not a pleasing one. <br /> <br /> My Inauguration experience wasn't what I had hoped it would be; I didn't end up where I wanted, I didn't get to see what I wanted; but I realized that is not the important thing. I was still <span style="font-style: italic;">here</span>, sharing in the experience with the millions of people that descended on the city. I'm proud I was there, I'm proud of my country, and most of all I'm proud I'm American.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Anna</em> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:backwards_anna:51691 2008-10-05T04:22:09Z

Not exactly looking forward to mid-terms and such.<br />What I am looking forward to is parents' weekend when I get to see my mom.. and KALYN! It's going to be the best weekend ever. <br />Won't be home again til Thanksgiving, which is a little rough but I think it's a break that I need. It will be nice to be home for Christmas and everything though. And I'm looking forward to working at the Inn over break. I miss everyone from there =(<br /><br />Anyway. Guess that's pretty much it for now.<br /></span></font> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:backwards_anna:51257 2008-09-04T03:08:52Z 2008-09-04T03:08:52Z No classes on Fridays.

It was quite a trip down memory lane. It's good to see that the things that I thought I would <em>never</em> get over, no longer bother me anymore. It gives me a lot of hope for the future. I just know that it takes a lot of time.<br />I was amazed at how creative I was sometimes with what I wrote. It almost made me wonder where did that come from? I know I still have it deep down inside me somewhere, but the truth is, it's been so long since I've last written something for fun, that I feel like it would be extremely difficult for me now.&nbsp;<br />Anyway, on top of all that I found a lot of things that made me literally laugh out loud because I had forgotten about so many things. So that was kinda cool to freshen all those memories, a lot of which I had legitimately forgotten.&nbsp;<br /><br />It was also a nice escape from everything going on here. Today kinda sucked because I felt really left out by my friends. Well, one friend in particular. It just kinda sucks that I was clearly an afterthought to the plans tonight. I know I can make myself feel worse when I choose to isolate myself from situations, but when I'm clearly someone that only gets invited at the last possible second, then I'm not really sure I wanna go in the first place. So I'm mostly disappointed because this is my second to last weekend in DC and I would have much rather gone <em>out</em> and did something. I don't want my last nights out to be going to frat parties, I mean, come on. I want to hit up Adam's Morgan and go to a hookah bar or jazz club or something, because once I'm back in New Jersey I will not have that opportunity for a while.<br />I am looking forward to next Friday however because it's the Dav Final Staff Meeting/Party at our manager's apartment. Which means free alcohol! But I'm hoping I won't get too carried away. I've already been ridiculously drunk in front of one of my co-workers, not to mention broke down <em>sobbing</em> as he walked me home one night, and that is really one too many. So here's to self-control!&nbsp;<br /></p><p>I can't believe that it's actually Sunday at this point (1:30 AM). Shit I have a lot of work to do. I have a ten page paper due Friday that I have about a paragraph and a half written so far. I really <em>really</em> wanna finish it by at least Thursday. But then, that will be difficult because I have my Micro final Thursday and then my Stats final Friday. Not to mention I have to practice my scene for my Shakespeare final. Yes I have to perform a scene as our final project. I am the Nurse in Romeo &amp; Juliet. But I'm actually not so bad, hopefully I won't freak out and forget my lines once I'm in front of everyone though. Anyway. Oh yeah, and I have my Spanish oral tomorrow. And then my Shakespeare final tomorrow. That I really need to review the plays for otherwise I might actually fail. And then next Monday I have my actual Spanish final that I literally have <em>no idea</em> what to expect.<br />And then somewhere in there I have to start packing.. like.. what?&nbsp;<br /><br />I'm really excited to be home forthe summer. Like I said in my previous post there is just so much that I want to do. I think being away has really made me appreciate what I left behind. I really wanna have a better relationship with my dad. I feel so bad about basically abandoning him. I can't wait for Fathers' Day because I have the best idea on what to do! And I'm going to try and stay with him a little bit this summer and see how that goes. I want to have a better, more mature relationship with my mom too. And be closer to my sister as well.&nbsp;<br /><br />I am just really hoping that this summer will be amazing.<br /></p> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:backwards_anna:49909 2008-04-26T02:49:18Z 2008-04-26T02:49:18Z <p>&nbsp;there's so much that i want to do this summer.&nbsp;<br /><br />hopefully by the end of august i can come back and cross most of these out:<br /><br />--tubing<br />--dorney<br />--multiple trips to the shore<br />--visit maia in philly<br />--get into the city (ny)<br />--do more stuff with my sister<br />--make money and then save it<br />--be more active: walk, run, ride my bike, anything<br />--eat better<br />--read the books i got for christmas<br />--go for walks with my mom<br />--play catch with my dad<br />--go camping<br />--go hiking at sunfish pond<br />--go to an outdoor concert at deerpath park with my mom and sister<br />--take my dog for more walks<br /></p><p>ugh i feel like there is so much more i wanna do. i guess i'll add more later</p> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:backwards_anna:49458 2008-04-17T02:17:11Z 2008-04-17T02:17:11Z <em>&nbsp;Anna, thank you for your kind words.
