Monday night, I returned home from San Francisco after attending a Senator Boxer/Obama fundraiser with Rodney.

Tuesday morning, me, Mayra and Justin drove 4+ from Merced to Los Angeles to see Senator Barack Obama!

Upon on arrival to LA, we picked up my friend Saul who attends UCLA.

We then drove over to the Rancho Cienega Sports Complex and had to park 5+ blocks from the complex.

It was awesome! There were so many people, from all walks of life, at the event!

At the close of his speech his talked about Students for Barack Obama (SFBO)! I was cheering when he mentioned SFBO and the power of students to make change. Woo!

Unlike SF, when I missed my chance to shake the Senator’s hand, this time, I was close enough. I tried to take a picture at the exact moment he shook my hand but my camera delayed!

After the rally, we drove to my house to see my parents, ate some pozole, watched a movie and rested.

We left LA at 10PM and didn’t get home until 2AM. The next morning I had work for the Campaign for College Opportunity at 6AM.

What a rush! :-)
