Heres the scene:
I have this HUGE group project due next Wednesday. It's a case study of a public library, involving a 20 minute presentation and a 12 - 20 page group paper.
I was a good student all weekend. I didn't drink at a Halloween party Friday so I would be good to spend all day Saturday doing homework, which I did, till about 1:00 am. Got up 8:00 am on Sunday and kept at it till 2:00 pm, finishing a paper for another class.
And that felt so good, having spent the time and got this thing done, and I could go out and enjoy celebrating a good friend's birthday that night.
Now it's Monday night, I had class. Tomorrow night, my friend is hosting a Election Party, and I said I can't go because I have to do homework. Which is true. My group is meeting on Wednesday so we can get our shit together for next week. This means tomorrow night, Tuesday night, I need to get some of my own shit together for the project. As a good grad student, I should stay in and do homework.
But as a citizen, as a Chicagoan, as a voter, I would really love to just go downtown tomorrow night and see the show. Obama is hosting an election night rally at Grant Park, and while I do not have tickets, I would still love to just go down and just see how far into the city I could get. Just be in loop. Just be there.
This is going to be historic, either way. I mean, how many times can you live in the same city as the possible President Elect? This is once in a life time, to be in a position to so close to history.
But this project is worth 30% of my grade. Grrrr.....
I called my friend/fellow student Sheila tonight. We call each other whenever we're having "god damn grad school!!! AHHHH" moments. We're also in the same group for this project, and both feeling the pinch about it. I was saying, you know, can you imagine you grandkids saying "Grammy, where were you when Obama was elected president?" And my answers gonna be, "oh, I was in the basement of the library working on a paper." But beyond that. Screw the grandkids, for my life time, it would be an amazing experience. I'm a person whose fairly interest in politics and current events, and love being on my own in a big city.
Plus, Sheila made this point at the end of the conversation, "You should go. Do not let 9/11 be the defining moment of your lifetime." This really struck me. I mean, for my lifetime, what the grandkids will be asking so far is "Where were you on 9/11?" It would be nice to have a moment that's on the opposite scale of momentous to add be defining.
I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do. Having homework really effects my immediate day-to-day life. And I would feel guilt that if I did skip on that paper for the night, I should be at my friends party.
OK, I'll I'll be honest, this is is the plan for my day" Get up before the sun to go vote, then go to work, then go work on this project all night checking the internet all night trying to see what's going on.
But I'm hopeful that tomorrow there will be a new defining moment for our country, no matter where I am personally.
