Halloween this year was a perfect ending to what has been an almost perfect month. Every single weekend this October has been nothing short of amazing, whether it involved hiking with friends in the phenomenal Vermont fall foliage, trekking to the Big Apple and reuniting with people old and new, or staying in with the roommates and watching Law & Order: SVU while an apple pie bakes in the oven. Lots of friends who have moved home since graduation came into town this weekend for the big celebrations, thus making for the perfect wrap-up for this month. Everyone's costumes and spirits were wonderful, and I would have expected nothing less.
Now that the Halloween cheer has subsided and it is once again, a lazy Sunday, I can't get rid of this looming feeling of anxiety and nervousness as the election rapidly approaches. I. am. so. scared. My generation has a lot to worry about right now - we have just graduated college and are entering the "real world" at a time when the economy is a dark and threatening monster. I won't sit here and blog about all the reasons why I need Obama to win and for McCain to lose, but I will say this: As upset as I was when Bush was re-elected four years ago, nothing will beat the despairing and dark emotional state I may fall in if by Tuesday night, Obama has not been elected.
