Day 86 – Nov 22nd (Take One)

Nov 22nd

After global studies and psych of food, I had a five-hour marathon of being productive and getting work done. I spent the rest of the day goofing around by watching Lost with the girls, having a long drawn out dinner and then stealing pictures and sharing music with Goldie for the rest of the night.

International Date Line
Today we passed the International Date Line, so we are actually going to have the same day (Nov 22nd) twice. The International Date Line was discovered when Magellan’s crew had kept precise logs so they knew what the day and date were, but their logs differed from the calendars they discovered when reaching a port after their circumnavigation. In general the date line lies along the 180 degree of longitude, but each country is allowed to set its own time standards. Hence, why all of India is on one time zone that is 30 mins different from al other countries in the world.

Highs and Lows
My “high” was going to Shabbat with Sara and Goldie, thus continuing my legacy of being a Jew observer overseas! My “low” was realizing I have to live the same day over again.
