20. Well here is my big fear....
Wednesday I will be on clinicals all day at the hospital. I sure hope that we know the outcome before then. I am not supposed to have an opinion in front of my patients and I sure don't want to walk into a room and see it on TV then. I don't know how I could remain calm. Hopefully, the gap will be so big we will know before bed tomorrow! At least then we can get back on track with classes!! :bounce:

10. You have
plenty of company, don't feel too bad. I'm 51 frickin' years old, and I'm on the verge of a major anxiety attack over this election. Kerry has got to win. That's all the hell there is to it.

14. yeah...but the thing is...
...if Kerry LOSES (god forbid) I am going to be an emotional WRECK for WEEKS.
I have poured my heart and soul into this campaign.
I have marched for HUNDREDS of hours in the RAIN and SNOW in NH before the primaries; I've been living in NH (seriously) on the weekends ever sense.
My heart is going to break. Literally. Or swell with joy.

12. Same here, and I'm SO behind.
My kid was sick all last week, so I have this week's AND last week's work to do. And I can't concentrate at all.

At ALL.

I'm going to regret it a lot in a few weeks, but I can't be bothered right now. :scared:

13. I'm here on the opposite end
I have a pile of papers to grade, classes to plan . . .

And I can't concentrate on anything enough to grade them.


Wait, here's an idea . . .

"Tell you what, kids . . . when Big John wins, everybody gets an A!"

16. Me Either!!!
No homework or decent ANY work until this election is over. I turned in a paper in my english class, and got the worst grade I've ever gotten this year, because I can't focus! GRR!!!

I tried doing some marketing homework tonight as well, but that was just pointless.

23. I feel your pain
I have two papers to write before the week is out, and a dozen math problems to do--with Mathematica 5, the most confounding program in history, and I can't concentrate worth shit.

it's impossibly hard to use--but it does a whole bunch of shit (or so I'm told).

27. I got a 4 page media paper due tomorrow... haven't started.
But omg... so much ammo now...

I think I'll hand it in late and make a great report - on the coverage of OBL's tape. It's amazing how much they left out in the version we're hearing from MSM in the states.
