It doesn't feel like that long ago that I sat in my little apartment in the Tower, pretending to read for whatever classes I had the next day while glued to my TV set. I remember being both elated that Obama won and utterly disappointed that Prop 8 had succeeded.

Things looked so grim the last few weeks, so the results tonight (at least for the presidential election) mean I can breathe a sigh of relief. And it makes me even happier to see that multiple states have voted to allow same sex marriage. Maybe times they are a changing? In any case, here's to another four years.
