Hey! Who turned out the lights?!

The other day I walked out of school at 5.00pm after my English class. The last time I did this, about two weeks ago, it was light outside. This time it was pitch black.

Today it got dark at 4.00pm.

The sun started going down at about 2.30pm.

I don’t even think the sun got all the way up before it packed it in and started going down. Lazy sun!!

It is so strange coming out of school when it is dark outside and then going to football practice. I get home and think it is about 11.00pm when it is really only about 7.00pm.

The feeling of pure tiredness that comes with the dark comes so much earlier and I feel so tried all the time. It is also so much harder to get yourself up and going when it is dark outside at this time. It takes so much more will power not to just curl up in bed at 4.30pm and go to bed, like I did today! (Opps!)

Soon it will only be light from about 10am till about 2pm or an even shorter amount of time! Most of the time I will be in school for the light hours!

I have been told that the snow helps make it lighter but for the month of November there is little to no snow and dark days and the weather is always raining and the temperature is always dropping! Got to love November!! All I can say is that I am with the swedes when they say bring on the snow!!
