College student's fluid concept of time continues

<p>Freshman s answered little brother’s text yesterday and told him he’d be home this afternoon. It’s now 9:38, and he’s still a half hour away. I’m sure it’s afternoon somewhere…</p>

<p>Helenback, You always make me laugh!</p>

<p>For a college student, afternoon is before night. night states around nine.</p>

<p>disclaimer - I’m waiting up for mine to show up… five days from now!</p>

<p>last night, freshman daughter left the house at 10:15…“I’ll be right back; going to watch the 2nd half at …'s house”…um, the 2nd half ended at 1:26 am…she strolled in at 2…we were fast asleep…glad we didn’t wait up!!!</p>

<p>“Freshman s answered little brother’s text yesterday and told him he’d be home this afternoon. It’s now 9:38, and he’s still a half hour away. I’m sure it’s afternoon somewhere…”
LOL! sounds like my college age son has a twin somewhere…</p>

<p>He arrived around 10:45. I let his little brothers stay up for about an hour because they were very excited to see him. Around 12:30 I said I needed to get to bed and asked if he was going to sleep soon. He said,“Yeah, I’m going to bed too, but first I’m going to watch this movie.” And so, Dracula returns to his lair…</p>

<p>Best thing about being on the west coast and having a college student on the east coast is that for the first few days that she’s home her sleep schedule isn’t that different from ours. Hooray for the 3 hour time difference!</p>

<p>Unless they’re like me and adjust to local time immediately. 3 hours? Pah. I can handle crossing 14 time zones without a hitch.</p>

<p>I don’t have a sleep schedule though. I sleep when I’m tired. :)</p>

<p>LOL Dracula is a good description.</p>
