Watch

I've been wearing a watch ever since 1st grade or so, and whenever I forget my watch or it runs out of batteries, it's pretty disrupting to me. A few months ago, the chain on my watch broke. For the first few days, it was awful. But for the rest of the months since then...I've realized I haven't missed my watch at all. Not one bit. A lot of the reason is probably that I'm on the computer at the lab all day and have the time right there, and in general I have fewer appointments than usual. But I feel like part of it is adopting some of the laidback Spanish culture where people aren't rushing to places and jam-packing their schedules and micro-managing their time, and where things just happen when they happen. Of course, that's a big overgeneralization, but I think my watch habits are indicative.
