The Late Shift: the same day

Okay, after doing nothing with my paper, I went home and got some dinner. I was just in time for the war in Iraq to start. Even though I'm living in a small town, and going to school at a relatively non-political campus, I was curious to see if I could notice a difference among the people I saw. The only change I noticed was that the other students seem to be on the their cell phones at a higher percentage than usual; one of the students I overheard was talking to her Mom. For the most part, exams appear to be foremost in everyone's mind. To be honest, I expected a lot of them would be home watching it on television; but if they're anything like me, they're working on their papers too.
