I have an Interview in Barcelona at 5pm which is what time in Alabama?

So on Monday (October 26th), my phone rings at 7:30 am. I quickly jump up assuming it's my alarm clock and I have overslept for class, until I realize it was my ringer and it was Tali, my inetrnship coordinator from Barcelona was calling. Ok, so on Monday's I don't have to be in Florence until 10am which means I don't have to leave Athens until 9am, therefore I don't need out of bed until 8am AT THE EARLIEST! How dare someone call me at 7:30, when I have a whole 30 minutes to sleep! Although I'm sure whatever Tali has to say is important, I think it can wait 30 minutes... back to bed I go!

It's not 5 minutes later and Tali sends me a text message telling me I have an interview in Spain at 5pm, Barcelona time. Ok, so what time is that in Alabama??? Have you ever tried subtracting time zones while laying in bed, half asleep? Didn't think so. I calculated what I thought was right, 10am Alabama time, so back to sleep I went.

I got up at 8:30, got dresesd and headed to school. Tali called back and gave me an interview prep course and informed me it would be 11am Alabama time. So at 11 am, I go to the parking deck, lock myself in my car and make the call halfway around the world. I speak with the secretary and as he is transferring me, I lose signal. Of course, I would lose signal here, now. Ugh, I look at my phone, I have 3 bars! 3 freaking bars! So I hit redial and talk to Christoph once more. He transfers me and I'm now talking to my potential employer. She gets two questions out of her mouth when, yep, you guessed it, I lose signal, yet again! In a complete panic and knowing I have just screwed this opprotunity all up, I call back and Ms Walter answers the phone directly. She laughed as I repeated I'm so sorry, in my southern accent and said things happen. Long story, still long- The interview went great (I think). I guess we'll see....
