Yesterday, as most would agree, was an amazing day for our beloved country. Like him or not, (but anyone who reads this knows, I not only like him, I dig him!) the unity that so many felt was undeniable. Having lived in DC for a year, I could only imagine the overwhelming feeling to stand in the national mall with so many who care about patriotism. I was at school during the swearing in and wasn't able to watch 'the moment' live, but knew it had happened because I literally heard cheers and screams from all of the classrooms around the building. It was amazing and I hope our country is on her way back.
As luck would have it, Sofie's civics class was also watching the Inaugural festivities and were recorded for the local news. Sofie was asked by her classmates to be interviewed, for which she declined. I think she later regretted her decision because how cool would it have been for the news to score and interview with the Norwegian exchange student on her feelings about the day? Oh well. Attached is a link to the local news clip. You have to look fast, but she is there at 1:05 and again at 1:32. She's sitting toward the front of the classroom, to the left when they show the screen. She's looking down the second time. Go Sofie! TC TV star!!!
