A 5 Year Old on Christmas Eve
February 6, 2008I’m posting this here because, let’s face it, it’s pretty nerdy.
It’s a pain in the ass trying to follow US politics from a different time zone. Yesterday’s Super Tuesday polls didn’t even start closing until 7pm EST. That’s 1am GMT! And of course they’re nothing appreciable by that time. I had to force myself to go to bed around 3am. I dreamt about 7 different outcomes to the primaries, and then was wide awake at 6:30 am. I really wanted to check the results, but I knew once I did that I wouldn’t be able to get back to sleep. I had to force myself to stay in bed until 9am, and then I made tea before looking at my computer.
I almost fell asleep in class today, but oh man I had forgotten what a thrill it is to be so excited about something that you lose sleep over it. In the good (not the anxious) way.
