Crowded

The event I am going to talk about wasn't necessarily a planned event. Well call it a "go with the flow" sort of thing. I was sitting in my living room with my roommate doing homework and sitting around. It was around 10 and the elections were going on the counts were high and as time went on it was announced that Barack Obama had won. Seconds later we look out our window. A mob of people of every color, ethnicity, and gender were screaming and yelling in favor of the election. Since we were Obama supporters we decided to join the late night parade. Running in our pajamas my roommate and I after about a 10 minute chase finally caught up with everyone. Finding mutual friends passing video cameras and news reporters we screamed and yelled for joy. The crowd proceeded to walk around the whole campus in a circle finally leading to the quad where several people added a word in about the results of the election. No matter how stupid or how intelligent the little speech was, the crowd all cheered. With everyone there it was like a rush of adrenalin. We finally made it to the fountain near the front of quad and stepped on it just to get an idea of how many people there were. Looking out there must have been hundreds and more coming from every direction! It was a joyful, crazy atmosphere. For these few hours no matter who you were, you were united as one. The crowd could feel the hope emanating from every person. I didn't learn a particular lesson other than reiterating that there is hope for the USA and one day no matter what race, ethnicity, or gender we are, someday we will be one.
