Put your clocks ahead one hour early Sunday morning.

I wonder if I'll wake up in time for class on Monday, or even if many other people in class will.

It'll be nice being light later though.

It will be interesting to see if anyone is late for something that I'm attending tomorrow due to daylight savings time. I know that some of my friends have forgotten about it before .

Years ago, I got the wrong date for the start of DST, which was actually the Australian DST-end date I guess I wasn't closely enough reading my wall calendar.

I think that DST is stupid and I have no idea how I'll get used to that once I move to the mainland...

Move to Arizona or Saskatchewan, they mostly don't observe DST Part of Indiana was DST-less until recently as well.

I think that we should have DST year-round as its hours of daylight seem to be generally more convenient than standard time, and no clock changing.

I'm fine either way with standard time year-round or DST year-round, tbh... although I think the latter would be much more useful. =P

Although some countries actually do use standard time year-round, like Japan... so it's going to be far more likely that we get year-round standard time than year-round DST...

I just find it silly how the "standard" time (without daylight) only lasts 4 months, especially after the change in 2007 shortened it by 3 weeks But without it, we'd have dark mornings in the winter ... standard time all year wouldn't be as bad, really

And of course, there's no use for daylight savings near the equator and poles ...


I still don't mind it when the time comes, but I like going back a hour more

It's nice to go back an hour, because you get an extra hour for everything, but I like going forward an hour too because you get an extra hour of daylight during your waking hours. Well, my waking hours, at least.

Having it still be light outside at 6:30p-7:00p is always nice for the mood.

Once we move ahead, they should stop DLS. I love it when we have more sunlight. Feels like I can get more stuff done.

Everything in my house is on DLS automatic, I like having longer days though. I wish they'd nix DLS all together... ^^;

Luckily, my 3-day weekend should absorb the difference before the loss of an hour of sleep can effect my math test.

But... don't you work tomorrow, Anya? Early?

I, for one, look forward to the extra sunlight.

Less than an hour until my clock jumps ahead an hour. More at 23.

I want to goatse the person who thought this was a good idea right in his fucking face.

I got work at 11:30 AM this morning. And I am going to get about 6 hours of sleep tonight.

UGH.

E- Fight the power! *Drinks his almost finished beer*
