Daylight Savings Time

So I woke up today and the clock on my phone said 10:33 am. Since I stayed in bed until 2:00 pm yesterday I figured I'd get up and actually do something with my morning. Then it clicked. I remember someone on the news saying something about turning the clocks back an hour... something do to with the farmers...

So I immediately turned on my laptop and there it was: 9:33 am. DAMN IT!! "What am I supposed to do at 9:30 am on a Sunday?" - I thought to myself. I mean, 10:30 is early enough, but 9:30... 9:30 is for church goers, not University students!! I can't start studying at 9:30 am on a Sunday, it's the day of rest!! <--- I am not a religious person, just to make that clear.

So here's the plan, I will spend my morning looking for the PERFECT cookie recipe. Yes, you heard me, COOKIES!!! Cookies are just plain ol' good for the soul and I will bake the perfect cookie - not today - but someday. Today is research day. That is, if I don't go back to bed, which is looking more and more appealing as I write this. Yes, back to bed it is, I've earned it with all this blogging and social network surfing...

UPDATE:

I'm not done with this post. I trailed off from the point a bit there with the cookie talk. Cookies distract me. Anyway... yeah... what kind of eff'd-up society tricks you into thinking your're up earlier than you really are? I was happy thinking it was 10:30, and not 9:30, like my computer told me it was. Now I'm going to always be thinking how everything is an hour off. Instead of going to class for 10:15 tomorrow it will really be 11:15. This is going to cause me much disstress for the next few weeks at least! Everytime someone asks me to be somewhere at a certain time I will think how they are an hour off. They'll say "let's meet at 6:00pm" and I'll be thinking "haha sucker, it's really 7:00pm"... I hate this "daylight savings time" shit.
