Seriously, What time is it?

Since I've come to Georgia, I've been using my iPod as my alarm clock. Luckily, it's been going well so far. I've woken up immediately every time it's gone off. That doesn't mean that I get out of bed right away. That's the down-side to having an electric blanket. It's so lovely and toasty warm all the time! I've gotten into the habit of setting my alarm about 30 minutes ahead... That way I get to pretend that I'm getting more sleep. Frankly, I do the same thing at home. At home, it takes be at least 4 snoozes and then I'm up! In Georgia, I've gotten down to 3 snoozes. Progress!  This was not a good alarm clock morning.

Don't worry, I didn't over sleep. On the contrary, I got up 1 hour early! My iPod has decided to play a little trick on me. It has decided to reset my clock so that it's an hour fast. I was absolutely and utterly confused this morning. 

When my alarm went off at "7:55 am," the sun didn't look like it was in the right spot. I looked at my iPod, 7:55am. I looked at my phone, 6:55 am. I looked at the clock on my dresser; 7:30 am. I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes for about a minute, glancing between all the clocks, trying to figure out which one I should go by. Finally, I got up and went into the kitchen. The clock on the kitchen wall said 7:15 am. I think I'm a pretty smart person in general, but with all this confusion first thing in the morning, I was not functioning very well.  One of my initial thoughts was Day Light Savings Time. That must be it! But as the wheels began turning in my head, I remembered that I heard there is not Day Light Savings Time in Georgia. Weirdos! Way to confuse the Americans. Some more time rolled by and I was trying my hardest to figure out a solution. I logged onto my computer, opened up the google search, typed in "world clock" and found out that it was 7:02 am in T'bilisi, Georgia. Success! Then I went back to sleep for 50 minutes. I would not have been happy to have gone to school one hour early. Honestly, I have no idea when the building opens up. Well I am only a 3 minute walk to school. It wouldn't have been that big of a deal to go that early. I would have just come right back home. I'm glad that the wi-fi was my friend this morning. State of confusion resolved!

Until next time. Adventure is out there!
