Elated would be more like it for me.
Oh, I'm definitely elated... but nervous too. I want this elation to last. I don't want anything to ruin it and I'm just waiting until the polling ends so I can exhale and say "It went well". So far, so good... but many hours to go and I don't think I'll be sleeping.
I'm elated because the Iraqis are voting. When the polls first opened no one was there...but, they're coming...they're coming!
