After a semester of studying, the elections are finally here!
You're just glad you can get hyped up without worrying about the fate of your own country
You turn on the TV to watch as the votes start being counted
But then you see that the news isn't reporting any results
So you switch to another channel because maybe that first one was a fluke
And after flipping through every news network on Argentine TV, you must come to accept that results are not getting reported any time soon
Instead of results, each station just gives a guess for first, second, and third place
So you decide to settle on the station that supports your candidate
You're watching all of the coverage of the candidates' speeches and you notice that they're all talking about triumph and victory as if they've already won
All the candidates, that is, except Aníbal Fernandez, the one with the mustache who is nowhere to be seen
But you suppose with a name like Aníbal, you wouldn't have much faith in your career in public office either
But forget Aníbal, where's Cristina?
"If I don't think about it, maybe it will all go away."
At this point in the night, you're really starting to doubt that any results are ever going to be released
But at least the media is getting worked up too
And then at last a glorious computer screen appears on the TV and it's the crude first footage of the results!
So you get really close to the screen and polling number one is Macri
You remember that your host mom was getting ready for bed so you call her back into the kitchen
And you just can't stop smiling because there's almost definitely going to be a ballotage
Now the results are slowly streaming in and you can't stop watching the TV
Besides, you're too caught up in the excitement of the Cambiemos dance party to feel tired anymore
And while you're watching everyone's dance moves, you also realize how beautiful they all are
That's when you take a look at the Scioli bunker
You feel a little bad for laughing at how quickly everyone cleared out
But then the tired, defeated faces remind you that you're a bit sleepy as well
So you finally go to bed, anxious to see the results the next morning
You wake up the next morning at the first alarm and rush to the TV
And when you turn it on, you breathe a big sigh of relief, and smile a big smile because you get to do this all again on November 22 for the Ballotage
