I mean, I know it is a hoax and all, however, I still am a little bit nervous about Friday. Do any of you feel the same?
Not a bit. The only thing that worries me is what will my wife do if I don't have the bathroom done by this weekend.

You are great with this kinda stuff! I wish I could just not have little instances of nervousness. It is like Stu Macher in the movie "Scream". Before he gets stabbed he yells "I'm ready baby! Come on! Get it up! Go man get it up!" That is what I feel like. I just want Friday to come around so that all of this can be over with!
The best thing you can do is arm yourself with knowledge. That way, should another situation like this ever come up again…you can be like Astro. It might not totally stop anxiety, but it will help you confront and battle it.
"Does it trouble your mind / the way you trouble mine?"
This is exactly the best you can do. At first I had anxiety, but then I studied the facts more and studied more about the Mayans themselves… I know there is significant falsehood. Education is an important tool to combat the fear.
I have never been freaked out about it at all. I think that is usually the case with scientists. Even though I'm a Chemist, I've studied Physics, Astronomy, and Geology. People with a scientific background can usually sort the nonsense from the reality.
NOT AT ALL. I know it is all lies. Im excited for christmas.
YEA! I have my 2 hardest finals on Friday. Pretty nervous XD
Nope. The only thing that freaks me out about Friday is, four days until Christmas and I haven't even started shopping yet.

Personally? No. People's reaction? (I think the necessity of this forum speaks for itself). :(
What is ironic? I recall when I was in my teens - my friends and I used to LIVE for Fridays..Break time from
school, hangin' out, drive-in movies, rock concerts *sigh* Good times…Good. ;D
lol - okay - drifted there for a mo. Anyways…*Now* people in dread fear of a Friday?!? How did things get so
upside down? Its' just another day.

I am just anxious for it to be the weekend so I won't have to hear about this nonsense again and plus next week is Christmas lol

Yup, I´m still a bit scared about Friday :(
On the other hand, I´m still looking forward to Christmas.
Just keep yourself busy Friday. It'll help make the day go quicker.
"Does it trouble your mind / the way you trouble mine?"
In general, nope, I'm only hoping I don't have to nurse a massive hang over this coming weekend :P
i am sometimes. :I but i cant wait to have the best saturday ever. when this whole apocalypse thin comes and goes, but sill the doomsayers may come up with a new date and say, oh it want 2012 its was 2020 or something like that.
I'm so nervous and I have a feeling that day every sound I hear I'll freak. Can't wait until Saturday so I can slap myself across the face a few times.
If you are don't be ashamed. I myself am no longer worried about that date, and I often find myself making fun of how stressed I was over such nonsense to my wife. You have to draw a line in the sand and decide which side you are going to be on, and after reasoning and research i decided to stand on the side of truth and knowledge. It took me a while, not going to lie, but once I finally came to the realization a huge weight was lifted from me shoulders and I could exhale….
The mind is the strongest thing on the whole planet. Although I find myself calm and relaxed, thoughts like "I won't get to say goodbye to all my friends…" or "have I finished all my business here?" keep drifting through my head, but I know it's all just the hype. I say don't worry buddy, we'll all be here on january 1, 2013. And on December 21st, 2013, I'm sure another big theory will emerge. Or some other day. We all know how these loons work.
Not scared, nervous, or uneasy at all!!! Used to be very afraid a couple years ago and got over it completely. I can't thank the good folks of this website enough for this oasis of logic in a desert of Internet silliness! My thoughts have now turned to the folks who are still afraid… I was once in your boat and the only advice I can offer is stay strong (because you are!), remember the facts, and stay busy doing things you enjoy! Tomorrow will be over and done with before you know it, and you'll look back and laugh knowing you now have the tools to keep you from ever fearing any apocalyptic hoo-ha ever again!
Take care, everyone!
