Washington is crazy. One second we're in Virginia, next Maryland, then we're in Washington D.C. again. I noticed that D.C. was very pro-Obama, DUH!! GO OBAMA!!!! Today, at 12:07 p.m., Mr. Barack Obama turned into Mr. President Barack Obama. He said "The earth has changed, we have to change with it." I wore 3 pairs of socks, 3 pants, 1 turtleneck, and 3 jackets, and still I felt the cold. My toes were numb and I thought I was going to freeze to death. We stood there for almost 6 hours. I was disappointed that we saw Obama through a screen than in person and also people booing Mr. George W. Bush. There was one lady in the crowd, "There will be no booing here, we're making history and we don't need any booing here." I agreed with this lady because even though I'm not a huge fan of G.W.B., we must respect our leaders. Even though he says really weird stuff (a.k.a. "A zebra doesn't change his spots") but still, give that dude a break! He got a shoe thrown at him!
We met some really awesome people and we met some really rude people in the crowd, but when I heard the cheering "Obama, Obama" I felt like we were really all one.
We walked 5 miles basically today. We were tired, our feet hurt, we were cold, but those sacrifices were made to see some great monuments. The Korean War Monument affected me. My aunt was born during the Korean War and parents went through the time after the war, where Korea was going through reconstruction. I never knew anything about the Korean War but today I kind of got the idea and I know how my grandmother felt bearing a child, taking her kids around.
But overall, this experience was awesome, I'm never going to forget it. I wuv D.C.
