Incidentally, that is also exactly what I looked like while teaching classes on Friday. And riding the bus to Minami-ise in the morning on my way to teach classes. And walking to the bus station from my apartment. I made a couple middle-school kids run screaming down the sidewalk, and one of my senior boys shriek like a little girl. It was a good day.Today was also a good day. I spent most of it writing while sitting at my desk, and obsessive-compulsively checking cnn.com (remember, I am 14 hours ahead of the East Coast. The polls had only just opened in the States by the time I was done with dinner last night) The verdict finally came in just before I taught my only class today, the last class of the day. I felt a hell of a lot better about my nationality as I walked into that room than I had when I walked into work this morning. Today is the first day in I-don't-know-how-many years that I've actually felt proud of my country.

You are so totally my hero. Obambies should also be a cereal brand and every box should come with a prize - like a rad new president! Oh snap! :'D
