Elections in Australia!

So today was amazing for me.  I was at work, and I brought up Cnn.com to constantly update the results... and my co workers all got on the bandwagon, and we even had a map where we would put M's and O's on the states won by Obama or Mccain!  It was a ton of fun, and the thrill of watching Obamas numbers go up throughout my shift was alot of fun!  

The best part was when we found out Obama won.  Eduardo the Chilean man I work with picked me up and everyone was so excited!  

The thing that stood out to me today was that the Australians, Chileans, and Brits who were around me at work were all really concerned about the American elections.  Its because what happens in America really does effect the rest of the world!  It was amazing how excited everyone got.  Australia is a big supporter of OBAMA.  

Im excited to come home to a new regime in the American political system!  Change is upon us, and I hope Democrats and Republicans can agree that change is needed.  The country is in a serious economic crisis, and the war needs to be reevaluated.  Im looking forward to see what Obama will do with the government. I am hopeful.  The Amazing number victory that Obama won by is proof enough that America was and is Ready for Change!

On another fun note, I was interveiwed by the Newcastle Herald the big paper for the area!  They even came out to the International House to take pictures of me and the other Americans on campus!  It was alot of fun, and I will probably be in the paper tomorrow!  Maybe even front page!
