Night Owl

Maybe it's because my laptop clock is still set to my home timezone time. Maybe it's because it's still bright outside at 8pm. Maybe it's because my night person tendencies just haven't changed. In any case, the time differences boggle my mind sometimes.

Timezones are tricky things, which make it a little difficult to call people back home, but so far it's worked out alright. While I'm eating dinner in Germany, they're having lunch in the US. While they're just getting ready for bed, I'm getting ready to get to class.

Sometimes though, I just lose track of time. I'll be Skyping with a friend and my computer tells me that it's 3:30pm...and then reality kicks in and my phone tells me that it's almost 10pm...and that I should probably start on homework.

I will arrive in the US in a little under 5 weeks, and right when I come back I'll be busy with family activities, work, and getting back to my US life. It will no doubt be fun (I'm so looking forward to it!), but it will be interesting to see how I adjust to a time change yet again.


Peace. Love. Happiness.

PS: I know I am extremely behind on my actual travel updates on here. Sorry about that! I'll get caught up slowly & eventually...probably this summer when I'm already back haha. I believe my last travel post was about Rome...just to let you know where I've been since then (which was over1.5 months ago!): Nice, France/ Monte-Carlo, Monaco; Salzburg, Austria; Vienna, Austria; Paris, France; Lausanne, Switzerland; Berlin, Germany; Amsterdam, The Netherlands. As you can see, I have a lot of catching up to do!
