Freaking Out

I wish I had lots of exciting things to share with everyone today, but mostly I'm freaking out. I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that I'm leaving Wednesday afternoon to go to what will only be my second professional conference since I became a grown-up, and I'm presenting a poster, and I'm having breakfast with my boss and two professors from my grad school program of choice at 8 AM GOOD GRACIOUS and I need to be well-dressed and coherent and charming and and and... you can see why I can't think straight.

I'm sure you can relate to my anxiety level, though, because tomorrow is Election Day! Oh sweet Lord! I'm scared. Tomorrow I'm planning on telling you all about my Election Day experience four years ago. Hopefully this will keep all of our minds off the fact that the election probably won't be decided until 2 am Wednesday. Or, we could drink. If I had my choice, I'd drink away my anxiety all night Tuesday and then call in sick on Wednesday, but you see, I have to come in and get some work done before I leave for the airport for this conference. Which reminds me, I've got some freaking out to do...
