I just watched the sun go down over the ocean, outside my window. The waves are unusually high today, and the sea is urgently tumbling about, higher than usual. The air smells especially salty today. It feels like change is in the air.
I am so proud of my country, and so thrilled for Virginia. I spent my evening after school glued to CNN (which we get here, yes, we have cable) and in between holograms, sweet touchscreen graphs, and this awesome Colombian tourism commercial that played here just about every commercial break, I drank some wine and watched the election results roll in. There was much cheering and fist pumping and elation with many of the results. It is an amazing feeling.
