I feel so proud I'm almost smug, as though my absentee ballot makes me very special. It's pretty cool though. Now all I need is for the dollar to make its way to equal, and then--dare I say it?--surpass the euro! Obama's got a lot on his plate, but that would be appreciated.

Proud to be an American
Never have I stood taller or felt as proud to be an American as this election night. I still can't believe it's true. I've hoarded several newspapers with Obama on the cover. The frenchies just love him. My students, when I asked them what they knew about the US and elections and all that jazz, responded consistently o-ba-MA (please imagine the accent). When I got excited and asked them what they liked about him... well... that one was a bit tougher for them. ¨He eez young...¨ ¨He eez blAck.¨ Either way, they're loving this, and I'm loving being American.
