Election 2008? Important to me? Either will be blamed for the inevitable problems we are going to face as a unified country. I know it's supposed to be my "duty" as an American to vote. Honestly, I do not enjoy popularity contests, and at this point in the election, it is a popularity contest.
Some older people are voting because of color. My own father, a very open minded man, admitted that he liked Obama's ideas, but would never vote for him because he is so different. Quite honestly, I am not sure what it is Obama want to "Change", and I would never want McCain's VP choice in a position of power.
It is one of those "if you have nothing nice to say, do not say anything at all" situations for me... or the "do good to you friends, do harm to no one." Well McCain looks about ready to have a heart attack and Obama just feels so unprepared to me.
It is not that I hate either candidate, or that I am some anarchist. Call me selfish, but I really have other things to worry about. I do not really care who our scape goat is. In my opinion, either will do the job to the best of their ability.

Midterms
Midterms are coming up fast. My brain is leaving a trail of black smoke as I walk from room to room with a music theory book in my left hand as my right hand pretends to play a piano. I guess you could say I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything. I have learned so much already. I did not know anything had stayed in my head with the fast paced classes. I am taking 19 credit hours worth of classes, not including the theater production going on shortly after midterms.
I really want to study and do well, and thankfully some of my classes are waiting until after fall break to give us our midterms. I am making flashcards for Italian 101 and music theory. I am spending extra time in the practice rooms for piano and musicianship. My professor in Ideas and Cultures has given us our essay to write early. All of my professors have provided study guides and I know the professors well enough to trust that what they say will be on the exam will in fact be on the exam.
I do not usually get nervous about exams because it is pretty much a do or die thing for me. I do my best no matter what and either do well or do poorly. I do not stress out about exams after I have taken them.
Unfortunately, I have noticed that as midterms get closer, my room gets cleaner.
