As mentioned earlier, I expected to have a lot of problems with the time change, and guess what happened. I have a lot of problems with the time change. From the time I went to bed, till the time I was brutally woken up by my alarm, the world was good and nice. The moment my alarm went, I felt really miserable. For my feeling I went to bed later then normally but the clock only showed it’s regular time (strange, it was an hour later just a day before!) and the time I woke up was a-normal.
So far so good, after waking up a bit, eating breakfast, saying hello to my dad and driving to work everything was just like every other day, except that it was already light when I arrived at work, this wasn’t the case the week before!
The time my coworkers got in and we went for a coffee, some itchy feeling crossed me, this was not normal, we were drinking coffee too late! My head felt heavy for a moment, till the caffeine kicked in (if you always drink a cup of coffee in the morning you know the feeling), again after that the world just continued and I seemed to adapt a bit better.
TILL lunch time was arriving, an hour before I normally eat, I felt a push to open my bag and take out my lunch bag and eat the contents, because it was lunchtime.. EHH!! Not yet. I needed to wait for an hour till I could eat my bread.
The moment I could go home, I filled my bag and grabbed my stuff and walked outside. It was already getting dark (IEK not normal!) and it felt like that I worked an hour longer then normal; again so untrue!
I got home safely and within normal timeframes (1 hour and 15 minutes driving from work till home) I decided to wait with my dad (my mother has a party tonight so she’s out) till my brother came home so that we could eat with the three of us. We ate at 18.30 or something, which felt like 19.30…
Now, the time is showing 19:57, but it feels like almost nine o’clock already!
And this goes on for another week till I am entirely adapted to the new time zone we live in.
For some people a very normal change, for others like me, a difficult and challenging change!
