As I continue to wait on the arrival of photos from this previous weekend (canopy tour in Tamarindo), I figured I would post up here how This whole Presidential Debate thing went down from abroad. I'm not going to get into politics; just my experience.
So, for those of you who may not be aware, the University of Denver hosted the first Presidential Debate tonight. It was such a huge deal for everyone in the Pioneer community. We got a chance to show ourselves off as well as associate ourselves with something as prestigious as the office of the President of the United States. And, of course, I spent this amazing event watching from a tube television, within a house, in Costa Rica. My day started off as usual; eating breakfast and watching Buen Dia with my host mom. Then, all of a sudden, I see a shot of the beautiful Ritchie Center, and my face lit up like the lights at Barton Lacrosse Stadium. I couldn't control myself as I began to point and explain that they were showing my university where the debate would be that night. Truly an exciting day. The rest of my day was filled with exciting photos of activities that were happening on campus, and they all culminated as I watched the debate live.
I feel like I should feel like I missed out, but I think that the whole focus wasn't on the event (as I console myself for not seeing the Lumineers). The energy could be felt through social media. There was a definite buzz that I felt, and that is what make the University of Denver such a magnificent place. As Pioneers, we push forward and get excited about bright futures. The debate was just that. It brings us the future the DU community. The future of the school. The future of the country. And, the future of our lives.
#WeAreDENVER
Pura Vida.
