Time Change

Unfortunately, in choosing to come to Purdue I jumped an hour ahead of almost all my friends from home. It is not a very difficult change to get used to, just slightly annoying when I come back and can't sleep because I'm used to being an hour earlier. The most painful part is that my friends don't remember I'm on a different time frame. Occasionally they'll call or text me at 12:30 or even 1:00 at home, because they are used to me being up that late at home when we don't have school really early in the morning. They fail to realize that it is already 1:30 or 2:00 here. Hopefully, they are starting to adjust, but until then I just answer and tell them they will have to wait until tomorrow unless it is incredibly important. Another side effect of the change, which my roommate finds very amusing, is that I always try to watch shows at the wrong time. It never occurs to me that now all the shows come on at the first time mentioned when they 9:00/8:00 central. I always tell her that we have to remember to watch the show at eight and then she has to remind me that I am no longer on central time!
