My Fellow Americans-
Today, I am one of you. I am now offcially a Sri Lankan Taiwanese American by way of of Scotland. In honor of the event, I met up with Sarah in Chinartown. But fret not, friends, for we went to possibly the whitest restaurant Chinatown had to offer. There was not a single Asian face except ours and that of the waiters for much of our meal. We really knew how to pick them.
During the ceremony today, in addition to a letter from the White House, a packet on voting registration, and an American flag, we were given little pins (not real ones, but the museum entrance kind) and a card that had the pledge of allegiance on it. On the reverse side of the card was a congratulatory note informing the reader that today would be the greatest day of our lives. Imagine that, to peak at such a young age. More stories of the day and photos to come. But for now, I must celebrate the best day of my life with Must See TV. I hope tomorrow never comes.
