brokenrecordApparently being really nervous and anxious over the election is really good for my study habits. I've already figured out the answer to a Mutivariable Calc problem I didn't think I could solve, finished all my German homework up until Wednesday, and have made flashcards for my German test that's on Friday (usually I do the flashcards the morning/early afternoon before the test). I just keep trying to distract myself from worrying about the election, and I find myself actually doing work. It should be election day everyday! (Not really. I don't think I would be able to handle the stress.) I might even clean up my room which I've been meaning to do for weeks now!
Anyways, I wish that I could have voted today instead of doing it early, but obviously that wasn't an option if I wanted to vote in CA (which I did, mostly just so I could vote no on Prop 8. Otherwise I would have voted here since Obama won't win MN by as much as he wins CA, although I'm 100% sure he will win MN, and so I could vote for Al Franken). If you can vote, then VOTE. I remember wanting to vote when I was 11 and finding it unfair that I couldn't, and it seemed so weird to me that people who were able to vote chose not to. I mean, it's not like it hurts you to vote, even if you think your vote doesn't make a difference. Your vote definitely will not count if you don't vote. I'm not telling you who to vote for, just VOTE (unless you live in CA, in which case, VOTE NO ON PROP 8 or I really can't be friends with you. This is just one issue where I cannot see the other side. Allowing same-sex marriage absolutely does NOT affect straight people's marriages or lives in any way, but banning it does hurt MILLIONS of people and takes away their rights. Not that I really think anyone on my flist is against same-sex marriage, but still. Just want to be clear on this).
The girl I'm tutoring wants to meet at 6:30 PM tonight, and I really don't want to because results will start to come in then, and I don't want to miss that. Hopefully she'll only want to meet for half an hour. And I think I'll bring my computer and leave it open to the page at the Daily Kos that refreshes with live results as they come in, so I can pay attention to her but glance at the page when she's working on a problem, because there does tend to be some downtime during tutoring.
All right, I'm going to try to kill half an hour and then go to my German lab and then try to kill more time before the results start coming in.
