2012 Election Day in the USA! I know you are all so glad it is over, and so am I! However, it was a special day here in Taiwan, one which I will remember for a long time to come. Having exchange students from all over the world be so excited about our election, and care so much about what was going on in our country was awesome! We followed the election all Wednesday morning during our Chinese class at the University... We all became excited every time the numbers would rise! The students from the other countries all wanted Obama, and so did all the Americans. It was was very cool to see him win! We shared in the excitement and chanted USA USA NUMBER 1 NUMBER 1 - a couple of times outside of the University! I am so proud to be an American and an ambassador through Rotary, especially on this day. It was great to be able to share this historic moment with my RYE friends from all over the world!
A couple of weeks ago my classmates asked me if I wanted to run in a race! I said yes, and agreed to what they were telling me even though I didn't have much of an idea of what I was getting in to. Ha! So, the other night after school, I ran against girls from my school in the 800 meter race. The entire school was there, cheering us all on! Each of us running in our beautiful turqouise blue and white uniforms! It was really fun, but also a bit nerveracking! The focus seemed to be on me! The silly American, who was running in the race at their school. I got second place and advanced to the finals! Sadly, I wasn't able to compete in the final race because I had a Rotary meeting that same night. I am so glad I particpated in the race though!

Just two exciting things that I thought I would share! :)
