The Republican Debate

    ...is here, on campus! Diane Sawyer could literally be eating in Drake’s cafeteria, roaming Drake’s lecture halls, or watching the girls’ basketball game down the street. I can’t imagine, a woman I’ve watched on TV millions of times being within yards of me, but she is!

    I mean, I guess the debates are going to be pretty cool, too. For my graduating class especially, this next presidential election will be our first chances to vote for president. Needless to say, the buzz on campus is huge; everyone from staff to students is excited. And although I didn’t win a ticket, there are plenty of opportunities for me to watch at separate “debate watching” parties all over campus. Everyone is doing their part to make sure no one misses this once in a lifetime opportunity.

    Which, of course, means everyone, including myself, will be taking a much-needed break from their finals studying. I haven’t decided whether or not Saturday will be a complete waste, or if I’ll study between the festivities. I know what I should do, but we’ll see if it happens!
