Daylight Savings

I never really understood the significance of daylight savings until I moved to a place that does not participate - now I get it! The sun is up really early (right along with the rooster that crows just outside our building!), which would be o.k. if we had curtains but not so great because we don't. It also means that it gets dark really early. For the first number of days, I thought it was incredibly late already, just to find out that it was 7:30!
