So, it is November 2 and I have a feeling in my stomach that is somewhere between Christmas Eve and the day before a big test. I am excited to watch the results unfold and anxious about what those results will bring. Is it because it is the first election I have really been following closely or is it truly because it is one of the most important elections ever in the US that I feel so giddy? Of course, even keeping vigil tonight to follow the results (polls start closing around 3am here) I hardly expect to have definitive results by the time I go to sleep tomorrow morning.

Plans to watch the election amongst a large crew of expats at Harry's Bar have given away to a night on the couch in front of TV 5's live coverage due to the fact that buying my tickets to come to the States for Christmas have emptied my pathetic bank account and even one drink (let alone 10 hours worth) is no longer possible. But oh how I wish that I could watch The Daily Show coverage. It would be so much more entertaining. But anyway, I hope that all of you have a blast voting (if you can) and will see you on the other side.
