Don't trust clocks.

This morning, my alarm clock went off at the usual time (6:45, but I've set it so it's 15 minutes fast to trick myself into thinking I'm late). I was SUPER tired though, like, more tired than I would normally be in these situations, so I went back to sleep, where I had a really complex dream. I've written entire blog posts about dreams in the past, so I'll save you the details of this one.

Eventually around what my clock said 8:00, I decided it was sufficient time to wake up. And by that, I mean, I loafed around on the internet to slowly adjust into being awake. That's when I realized my alarm clock was actually an entire hour fast, so it was actually 7:00 AM, not 8. At least, that's what LITERALLY EVERY OTHER CLOCK IN MY HOUSE TOLD ME.

The thing is, when you set up a routine for yourself, there are certain truths that your brain has well-established. For example: Don't worry, the clock is only 15 minutes fast, so you have a little bit more time. When, early in the morning, you're suddenly hit with "THE CLOCK IS AN HOUR FAST, CHILL," there's literally no way to process that information. I sat in my apartment alone, really believing that all my clocks were wrong, and maybe I should start getting ready, but what is time anyway??

I proceeded to google daylight savings, because maybe there was a special summer edition this year that nobody told me about. That was not the case:

Mark your calendars, folks. Seriously, mark them.

I slowly began to accept the fact that my alarm clock was wrong, especially when I turned my phone on and it said the same thing as literally every other clock. So, yay! I have roughly an extra hour to get ready through my day. Although I feel like I'm forgetting something...

Oh that's right, I have an 8:30 meeting every Tuesday and it's now 7:45. Love it.

EXCEPT HEY THERE, PLOT TWIST, that meeting was cancelled. So now I'm just here, a half-hour early to work without any pressing work to do. So I decided to blog about it, because that's what productive millennials do these days, right?

Not gonna lie, I look forward to going back to Ringling where my life is over scheduled to a point that I never miss an hour of my day.

WHAT IS HAPPENING WHAT TIME IS IT?????
