Happy MLK Day
It isn’t often that I get a chance to hang my flag two days in a row, but back to back federal holidays mean my prized banner–which flew over the United States Capitol in 2005, and was sent to me by my congressman–will grace my house once again tomorrow, Inauguration Day.
I just got an email from one of my professors. He has (wisely) cancelled our 11:45 AM class tomorrow. That’s good news, because I wasn’t going to miss watching Barack Obama’s swearing-in for my life. In fact, I plan on meeting up with some of my fellow liberal media elites (i.e., my co-workers from the radio station), and watching the happenings on television. I’d turn it into an all day thing, but I still have three other classes to attend. But it’s going to be hard to make a transition to seventeenth century English poetry at 4:05 tomorrow afternoon. I don’t think Donne has a poem that quite sums up what I’ll be feeling.
