Last night, I turned on a pre-existing alarm already set up on my iPod so I would be sure to wake up on time for my train to Nimes, and went to bed. As it turns out, the 3 unbearably creaky beds that make up my dorm made the alarm useless, and I was wide awake at 6:30 in the morning. I remained in my bed for a while, relishing the return to a more normal sleep schedule and waiting for another girl to finish getting ready before I got up. Church bells started ringing and I contemplated how nice it was to have church bells ringing on the hour in Lyon from the Basilica on the top of the hill, or maybe from St. Jean down below. Actually, seven in the morning seems a bit early for church bells to be ringing—especially on a Saturday.
... That would be because the church bells were actually coming from my iPod. That alarm sound was MUCH more effective in Canada.
