The Time Change

For someone who isn't great at math (and by that I mean struggles with basic addition), being in a different timezone is really throwing me off. Am I one hour ahead of home or one hour behind? Is it too late to call home? When dad said he'd call at 7pm, will that actually mean 6pm or 8pm?

Its been a struggle.

Especially on Sunday morning when getting to church on time was a necessity.




 My phone alarm went off at 8am as expected. I rolled over to check Facebook on my computer like always. The time there said 9am. Panic happened.


Monday I tried to find all my classes ahead of time. A new thing about college is that none of the doors are in order. 

Budgeting is also new. Tuesday I woke up and did some budgeting. 

I have $3.48 for food for the next four days.

  1. You are one hour behind. I'm typing this at 3:15 GA time, which means it's 2:15 AL time. You will get used to it.
