Inspiration:
    I was at work and noticed that the sun was going down awfully early. It was then I remembered that the clocks got turned back the night before.  Daylight saving time is a blessing and a curse. It's an hour later I have to go to work and school but an hour later I get off work and school as well. I am sure tomorrow in Discrete Math class, 15 minutes in I will be thinking how if there were no daylight saving time I would be outta here by now.
