In national news today, nothing's changed.

What did you do today?

My eight hours of sleep wrapped up around 11, and I dragged myself out of bed, got cleaned up, checked my email, went to campus, returned the papers I'd graded the night before, then sat down at my desk and worked on homework for my Computational Theory class. Around 5, I went to meet a bunch of friends for sushi at a restaurant a few blocks away. We discovered that the restaurant is no longer doing its usual weeknight happy hour, so we relocated to a nearby pasta joint, sat down, and had a leisurely dinner.

Except for the bit about the sushi happy hour, this is how I've spent every Wednesday since the beginning of the semester. I would have had the exact same day if the election results had been different. By and large, in that alternate universe, yours would have too, in nigh on every detail apart from the ones in your own head.
