Today, history was made. An African-American man became president of the United States. Everyone knew this was coming since early November, but it wasn't until today, after watching Barack Obama take the oath of office and give his speech, that it really hit me.

Now, I don't post political stuff on here, because I don't want any drama happening because of anyone's political views. But... today, I hope that Republicans and Democrats and all the independent parties can put their differences aside and just appreciate the gigantic step forward we took as a nation today.

The world seems a bit brighter today, and the promise that was made to me, and to thousands of children all across America when we were in first grade, that no matter who we are, we can do anything, even be president, seems like an actual promise now, not just a stock saying used on kids.

Whooo, two posts in one day because this is a good day.

Today my high school transcripts were sent off to the colleges I'm looking in to! This also included two of the fees for applying - the other two I was able to pay online, but for some reason my state hates online payment? Also, one of the online things put the credit card bill under my name, not my mom's, so we need to call them and have that fixed.

Also, a couple of days ago I got my ACT scores. Last spring when I took them, I got a 22. For my December test, I got a 26, which means my scores are perfect for getting financial aid from the colleges for merit. On that note, I filled out my FAFSA form, but I do need to fix it a bit after we pay taxes.

So, why does this make today a good day, besides Hopey gettin' inaugurated? Because this means I've finished all my college stuff. Those of you in Trans_9 might have noticed my absence for about a month. That's because I've been stressing out with this college stuff - but that's done now! I'll be coming back to the game tomorrow or the day after. (Though, I chose to drop z5 for the time being. :/ Still too busy to play two characters at once.)

That's all from me today, I promise.
