A friend of mine actually got an invitation to the inauguration. He considered trying to go for all of 10 seconds, I believe. Even at the point that he got the invitation, hotels had all been sold out for weeks and people were renting out their houses for exorbitant amounts.
My dad is on campus today (he works for the Peace Corps) so we're planning to have lunch together at one of the many locations that will be displaying the event.
Meanwhile, I have my first class in "Normative Inquiry" (ethics) tonight. I'm waiting to see if this will be as painful as the last class I had with this professor.
