And the converse of this is that day is more or less optional around this
time of year at those latitudes.  I found it depressing to arrive at school
(after a long commute) with the stars still shining and to have the sun
setting before 5pm.  In truth, though, I think I found it even more
disturbing to wake up at 6 am to find the sun well up in the sky.  That
really messed up my internal clock.  I was kind of happy to return to lower
latitudes before midsummer.

Do you feel similarly strange living at lower lattitudes than you're used to?
