Election Party at the Boarding School

Since we wanted to follow the results of the U.S. election live as soon as possible, we decided to throw a small election party. Armed with classic American food and drinks, we watched the election spectacle from the tea room. We also spent the evening discussing the American electoral system and the campaign platforms of the candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. We analyzed the swing states and predicted what results they would yield. We expected Hillary Clinton to win the election, albeit by a narrow margin.

When our eyelids finally started to get heavy, we decided to get a little more sleep before heading off to school the next day, when we could continue discussing the results. The evening was both entertaining and informative for us.
