My friend called me before my evening class and told me to go home and get ready so that she could pick me up right after class and take me somewhere special. I did as I was told. I put on my party face and went to class. At 5 pm I headed to the parking lot and got into her car, we drove for 10 minutes to a Krogers parking lot and we parked there. We got out and started walking and walking and walking and walking.

We walked until we saw this

And we had arrived. At first we saw CNN and a bunch of other TV anchors, i mean I knew that I looked good but come on gentlemen give a girl some space!

We then proceeded to see the line of people that just kept getting longer and longer and longer by the minute. The people in the long line were the people who had tickets to the event. We were in the rejects line of people who were hoping to catch a glimpse of anything worth catching a glimpse of.

So we sat on the curb and just waited. We waited for 4 fucking hours. We were told to get on our feet at 9pm because they were going to escort us into a room where we would be able to see everything on a projector screen. Now I’m thinking, i didn’t wait in line for 4 fucking hours to see this event on TV, i could have done so from my couch but they took us in groups of 5 into this special room for rejects. We were in this guys group.

We waited for an hour looking at the damned screen and I pretending to be all sophisticated reading my book and playing with my pen.

An hour and a half later they FINALLY said that they were going to let some of us in to see the main event! wo0t! Since we were in the first couple of rows of the reject hall, we were guaranteed in and so we went in and things haven’t started yet and we happened to get good standing spots on the floor too! I wanna escalate the story further with more pictures of things before the main event but sadly the posters will give it away so I’m doing it in reverse. Obama baybee.

The speech was inspirational. The crowd was phenomenal. But we are Kuwaiti’s and we don’t vote in the US so at some point we got side-tracked (not during Obama’s speech though) and started taking pictures of things that were of interest to two young women:celebrity look-a-likes and annoying children.

We were trying to take a picture of the camera-men behind this bastard but he just wouldn’t stop looking. Isn’t it common courtesy not to look into other peoples cameras?

This is my friend with her AWESOME shirt. Then the annoying kid who was annoying the fuck out of us.

All in all, I’m going to have to say that I had a fantabulous time. We left there around 1 am and we walked all the way back to where our car was parked and then got burger king and called it a night.

We took a gajillion other photos but I don’t want to bore you to death with repetitive pictures. Sadly i did not get to touch him or steal his bottle of water even though I wanted to. Blonde bastard who did it before me. I didn’t even get a picture with him, I was practically trampled on by this crowd! I want him to be president now so that I can tell people that I met this guy before he was even president!

In other news, no news from the school I applied to yet. Yarabi ga3da 3ala a7ar min il jammer!
