Today, Joel woke me up at 4:36 AM! I couldn't hear the alarm when it went off so he woke me up instead. We had to be in the lobby at 6 but we ran a couple of minutes late. Anyway, things went a lot better at breakfast. Everything was very nice and the tribute speakers were very passionate about their cause. Among these were a Rabbi, the Ambassador of Korea and Pastor Shirley Ceasar. They showed us a powerful slideshow in honor of Barack Obama's victory. Everything is great and so much better than expected. I'm getting great pictures.
