I just realized something interesting today. Daylight savings time in American started today but it doesn't start over here until the end of the month. Neat huh? I wonder just how they determine these kind of things.


In other news it looks like the Explorers Club is a go! Professor Serket has offered to be our staff supervisor. First meeting will be on Friday after dinner. We'll all just stay behind in the Great Hall and move from there.
It'll be short..just talking about what the purpose of the club is and maybe start generating some ideas for activities.

I believe Daylight Savings time had something to do with the World Wars, originally.
I'm fairly certain it's more of a muggle thing, too.

Oh really? I come from a Muggle family but we never really discussed how it came about in school before I came here.
That's pretty interesting though. I wonder how it was before the World Wars time-wise then.

[stubbornskeptic]

Less complicated, probably!

[its_cor_aline]

Probably! I bet people worried a lot less about being late.

[stubbornskeptic]

I feel like wizards worry about it less in general, at least outside Hogwarts.
Apparating takes away a lot of those worries that muggles have to have.

[its_cor_aline]

I can't wait until we learn to Apparate! It'll make traveling long distances a breeze.

[stubbornskeptic]

So long as we do it right, yes.
I really don't ever want to get torn to pieces by fouling up that particular trick...

Probably it's specified by the government.
Otherwise it would be even more chaotic.

[its_cor_aline]

That's true. I suppose you couldn't let it be a self governing thing or people would have all kinds of messed up timeframes.

If it wasn't government-regulated, people could switch back and forth between timezones every day, if they wanted to.
