Well, it's done. We have a new president. I was sitting on the floor with a friend of mine who was too sick to go out when it all happened. I didn't realize till MSNBC cut to the crowds of people cheering in New York, Chicago, and California. My roommate called me, ecstatic, but I found myself subdued. She's always called me cynical, but I just have this feeling that this will all end in tragedy. As much as I hate for that to happen, I give the man even more credit for having the courage and the faith to lead us anyway. I like that. And hate that. But for now, I'll do what our 44th president has been asking of his country for the last year; hope. I challenge you all to do the same. Forgive me for the sparse entry, but I don't believe there's much more to say.

P.S. I know you'll hope. It's what you're best at.
