Today

I'm stepping away from Rome and its amazingness to reflect on how much today means to Americans all over the world.

For everyone in DC who has had the opportunity to see any aspect of this huge party celebrating this amazing president, you have NO idea how fortunate you are. Please take a ton of pictures and blow a couple kisses his way for me.

We're sitting around the TV in our student lounge watching BBC coverage. This is beyond real and SO unbelievably amazing.

I definitely have not felt homesick until today. I really wish I was in DC to see this amazing event and to be a part of it. I know tomorrow I'll be fine and get back to life in Rome, but for today, I wish I was in America, in DC, at the Mall. Because nothing will ever compare to this. So, DON'T take it for granted, get down there to the mall and have a blast celebrating!!!!!!

I can't wait to come home and hang out with my new neighbors, The Obamas.
