My first surprise at Concord College

Hi guys,

Today I want to talk about something you may already know. I'm talking about my clock. You all know that Britain has a different time; that means that you have to change the time on your watch. That's what I did the first day and I really thought that everything was done. Wrong! Because the next morning I woke up at eight so I hurried up. Breakfast finishes at half past eight and I didn't want to be late. So I ran out of my room over the campus but in front of the dining room there was no-one. Totally confused I went back to my room and looked at my timetable. It was right: breakfast at eight. The current time was 8:15! Confused, more confused, most confused! I went out again. Still no-one there. Then I had an idea. I went to my room and searched my IPod. Many of you have an IPod Touch so you will know that function, the watch. Well that gadget can show you the time at other cities of the world and that's what I used. The result: 8:20 in Germany and 7:20 in Britain. My clock had changed itself back to German time by radio control. Since then it happens nearly every day but I'm not confused anymore. My tip: trust in old technologies like hourglasses and if you don't have one, a mobile phone will work, too.

Over and out
