This morning Darryl and I agreed to meet at her room around 10h30 to take the tram to Sharon's apartment where she had left her laptop to download a movie overnight.
Since it takes less an hour for me to eat breakfast and get ready and I haven't once slept past 9h40 since arriving in France, I didn't even bother to set the alarm on my iPod. So this morning when I finally managed to drag myself out of bed and open my blind, I was shocked to discover my iPod read 10h08.
An hour later I was knocking on Darryl's door and apologizing for being late as soon as I walked in only to find Darryl still in her pajamas and asking me why I was so early. We stood there for a second, both confused. Then understanding crept into the room - Darryl had forgotten to set her clock ahead last night for Daylight Savings while my iPod had corrected itself overnight without my knowing it.
A little later we were walking out of the dorm and towards the tram to go get Darryl's laptop and I was thinking how thankful I was that my Apple products had adjusted the times on their own, saving me from what would have surely been a very awkward Monday morning, which are already hard enough as it is.
