I did. And I was rolling my eyes most of the time. My teacher bought a satellite dish JUST so we could watch it in homeroom.

Yeah, I didn't want to. We had to, and the news crew from WGN9 Chicago was at the elementary side of the school.

I could of watched it at lunch. But, I didn't really want to. They were broadcasting it in my math class, and another room.

Yeah, in almost every class. At lunch, the whole grade was in the auditorium watching it coz the superintendent thought it was necessary. I'm glad we could because he would've gotten sworn in while I was eating lunch.

I watched about 15 minutes of it during third period. It was pretty interesting. Above the fact that we don't have cable and had to stream it online which caused it to lag majorly.

I had to watch it in 4th hour. *Gags*
No offense to Obama, but his speech was really boring.

It started at 4:00pm for me, so no I didn't. It wasn't even on when I was at school anyway.

I watched it but I got pretty bored. I know it seems like nothing now but I guess it's one of those "Later in Life Appreciation" things.

I watched part of it at night in bed.

As most of you probably would guess, we didn't watch it at our morning gym calss. But, we did watch it in the next class, wood shop. The teacher just left the TV on and let us sand wood. Then, we got to watch it again for about the first 30 minutes of language arts, and we didn't watch it for the rest of the day.

I rolled my eyes right after the oath and clapping with everyone else. I mean, I've pretty much realized it is over and we have to move on, but I guess I have strong feelings about all this. :rolleyes:
Anyways...I skipped lunch and went to the auditorium. I went to art next period where the sub brought us back so we could watch even more.
EDIT: I still hope he does well. If he doesn't, we get hurt. Still want Palin '12 no matter what!

Nope. Mostly because I'm not American.
We watched like 2 minutes in Citizenship, today, though.

While the Inauguration was happening I was at my friend's house watching Iron Man.

I haven't seen it yet. Several reasons for this.
I don't live in America, so I can wait.
It was on live at 5.30am, there's no way I'm getting up that early because
It is the summer holidays.

Don't take any offense, but why?

Don't take any offense, but why?
Why did I skip school or why was I excited?
I skipped school because I just really didn't want to be there and my parents said it was ok
I was excited because I have been waiting 8 years for that day

Oh, yeah I can understand that. :D
I was wondering why you were excited. Because I get really frustrated when people start talking about how wonderful Obama is and how everything is going to change, since this is what they feed us every time a new president is elected.

I know Obama is not going to solve all the world's problems, but he is passionate, charismatic, and most importantly intelligent, three qualities Bush doesn't have and that is why he is going to make the world a better place.

You'd be surprised. I hear that a lot of people from other countries did watch it, including those in the UK.

My english teacher had us watch it the whole time. Everyone laughed when he messed up. lol. What we were really doing instead of watching it was finishing homework that we were all to lazy to do.
