Somedays don't click how you want them to as I woke up with the intention of completing a lot of tasks but by the end of the day I had accomplished very little.
My watch that I received from the Israeli soldier during my trip to Israel in 2006 had died and I had been meaning to replace the battery for about a week. I went to what appeared to be a watch store and ended up getting laughed out as it was only for Rolex's or brands at that level.
I had to talk to Inma at the UC study center, but when I arrived it had closed early. Back at my apartment I found the notice for my care package that I had been waiting for from my mom. It said it had come at 11:00am (of course during the small window that I wasn't home) and that no one was there (people were home but no one remembered hearing the doorbell). I went over to the central mail office which is conveniently located right next to my apartment and was told that I would have to wait until tomorrow. I was annoyed and acting impatient as I was excited for it to come.
My classes went well and I spent the rest of the afternoon doing homework. I had to watch "Modern Times" by Charlie Chaplin for my Contemporary Social History class. The film was in Spanish (although technically the majority of it is silent) and I enjoyed seeing it again. I will have to write an essay analyzing the message and social critiques that the film makes.
I started to watch election coverage around 10:00pm although nothing official began until 12:00am. Two Spanish news channels would be doing an 8 hour, non-stop marathon covering the American election. I took a shower, got ready for bed, and then sat down on the couch to watch the election whose result would affect the entire world.
