I watched part of the inauguration today in the gym with the rest of the staff and all the students. It was really amazing to see so many people - estimated to be 2 million - packed like sardines in the Mall area to witness it. I think I'm too claustrophobic to ever be a part of a crowd that big. I didn't vote for President Obama, but I am glad to live in a country that allows people to make choices and decisions of who their government leaders will be.
