Do I ditch school at lunch, or finish the day missing the first returns?
I figure it this way: I can stay past lunch for 7th Period, Spanish 5, which I'm doing well in and I get to talk with this girl I like quite a bit and I get home late missing the first results, or I can go home early at lunch with my friend, and watch the first returns come in from Indiana and Kentucky.

What do you guys recommend? School, or history?

1. school
If anything, just for the girl. The results will be the results for the rest of history. You have your own history to worry about too.

4. Nothing all that interesting happens for the first few hours.
Endless repetition of the first few results, and a lot of speculation. Oh, and photo-ops of the candidates voting. That's about it.

Go to class.

5. to be quite honest
the returns mean nothing until mathematical certainty that a candidate wins. So, it's no big deal to miss a large chunk of them
