P Diddy

Waking up at five-thirty half-awake getting ready for the big day that we have all been waiting for “the inauguration.” In the morning we didn’t end up leaving until seven o’clock. We first went to the Washington monument were we met up with john and the other guys. The amount of people was outragouse. It looked like a sea of people coming toward you and the huge wave wasn’t going to stop. The hard thing was thet we were going against the crowd. We were trying to get to the CBS station where we would be on top of the roof watching the inauguration. When Obama started to speak two million people went silent. You could hear the birds chirp and the people breath. After he placed his left hand on the bible and raised his right hand swearing to uphold the constitution and protect our country the whole crowd went crazy. After everything started to mellow out all of a sudden Jesse Jackson walked in. He was going upstairs to where the CBS room was located to do a live interview with them he came down the steps and we asked him for an interview. He was so kind to say “yes.” I asked him, “Does this mean we’ve reached the mountain top? Then as we left we stepped outside and there was trash up to our necks. It was unbelievable. Trashcans were filled to the brim. As we made our way back to the hotel we caught P Diddy on his way out.  He was in the back seat of his car so we started to wave and he waved back. He then rolled down the window right as they were leaving just to ask us if we wanted a picture. So he got all the way out of his car just to take a picture with us! I thought that was really cool for him to do that for us. So that was the highlight of my day.
