HAPPINESS!

No, I lied. I'm going to wax semi-philosophical.
I was working as an "Election Inspector" for 17 hours today. It was long and kind of dull and definitely exhausting...but it was so worth it.
I have never been as proud of my country as I was at approximately 11 PM EST. And still am (um, sorry for the confusing grammar). In fact, I'm not sure I've ever actually felt pride in my nationality. And that brings me to...
Uncharted territory! In more ways than one. But right now I'm thinking in a particularly personal sense. I came into political awareness just in time for the disaster that was the 2000 presidential election and the start of the Bush/Cheney administration. The only feeling I've ever known for my federal government was disgust. I have no idea what this is going to be like...but I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT!
