"Where were you when you first heard that Barak Obama had been elected as the first African American President of the United States?"
Kimberly: I was at my desk at Bukpyeong Boys' Middle School in Donghae, South Korea.
Nathan and Elliot: They were at their Orinijib, or daycare, when I first heard.
Ben: at our apartment in Jugong Samcha, Donghae, South Korea!
Where were you?
I came across this question in a current events lesson plan on Barak Obama.
It certainly is a significant thing to happen in a country whose politics and government affect everyone else so much!

I didn't bother checking the news until later the next morning. Off work that week and not too interested in the things of the world! (In fact, I was on my workshop computer when I checked.)
Hmmmmm....I think I was in bed. But my boss was really excited the next day.
She even stayed up to hear the acceptance speech. Midge has a countdown for how many days Bush has left. I think it's 70.
Miss you...
