To say the least I’m emotional. I’m excited, scared, apprehensive, anticipatory, wishful, and relieved. I have to have all of these feelings because I’ve been so engaged in this election and the candidate. I've followed the two candidates positions. I have seen every single democratic debate and the majority of republican debates. I gritted my teeth through Clinton and Obama’s never-ending primary battle. I survived McCain and Obama’s mudslinging. Now its here: the big day.

Overall, I’ve noticed many people's differing views on the election. A lot of people are ready for it to be over; they are sick of being proselytized about the candidates. I got up this morning at 6:30 (I’m a morning person), went to the union to watch my favorite news program, Morning Joe, to see election news. But someone was watching Sport Center, “come on, I thought to myself, it’s the election!” so I didn’t get to see Minka and Willy (newscasters of Morning Joe).
Many touting that the pools say Obama is in the lead. For some reason, it aggravates me to hear others solidifying his lead. I want him to win so much; the thought of overconfidence is like an omen that something wrong is bound to happen. Call me superstitious or just emotional. When I’m doing homework, every thirty minutes or so I interrupt myself to check online for new developments even though I know that the earliest pools don’t close until 7:00 pm.

It will be a long night.
