For those of us in the U.S.A. (or rather most states of the U.S.A.), tomorrow is the day we switch our clocks for Daylight Savings Time. 

Remember, Spring Forward, Fall Back, so your clocks go forwards an hour, and you lose an hour of sleep!

Ug....so instead of 5am, it's gonna feel like 4am?
Living in peace, aye many a season,
Calm in life and sound in reason,,
'Til evil arrives, a wicked horde,
Driving a warrior to pick up his sword,
The challenger rings then, straight and fair,
Justice is with us, beware. Beware!

DST is observed in more than the US. Most of N. America, most of Europe, and some places on every continent, actually.
Start building something beautiful and just put the hate away

In Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and the ACT started Daylight Savings on the 2nd of October 2011 and end it on the 1st of April 2012. Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory don't observe it, although WA did trial it for a bit, but we voted against it.
Received mostly negative reviews.

On the plus side, I have the day off tomorrow. I can sleep in!

Japan doesn't do Daylight Savings Time. ;D And even though the Japanese archipelago techincally spans two time zones, the whole country uses the same time. It's nice and easy.

Yeah, that's what I meant actually. I just said it wrong. :P

I wish we could always just go off of DST, and never go back on (rather impractical, I'll admit)....the plus side is that this year it coincides with my spring break...but still, I always hate it being later than I thought it was.  >:(

So, I managed to get up at a good time yesterday and then made up for it by sleeping in 'til 8!  :P I'll figure this out eventually...
