Time...

Mar 26, 2007 14:26

So I had a rather odd epiphany today...

I feel like my entire world is ruled by time, and I don't know if that's a good thing or not.
Think about it.
How many hours of sleep did I get?
What time do I have to wake up?
How long do I have to sit in this class?
What time do I have a meeting?
Do I have time to get a snack before it?
When do I have to go to work?
What happens if I'm late?
How long until I can go home?
Do I have time to hang out with friends?
How long am I going to have to spend doing my homework?
When is this due?

There are clocks EVERYWHERE!!! In the car, on your phone, on the computer, on the TV and not to mention the billions of regular clocks just sitting around this campus. I know I feel really jittery if I don't have my watch on, especially when I'm at work. If I am not able to check the time at a moments notice... I get anxious.

How many times do you look at a clock in just one day?
During class, at work, during a meeting, just sitting around at home...

Why do we always need to know what time it is? There are a lot of other cultures that really just don't care what time it is and can show up hours late for a function, and it's ok. Why is it so different here?




"Time is wasting
Time is walking
You aint no friend of mine
I dont know where Im goin
I think Im out of my mind
Thinking about time"
