Time


Well, time is a very tricky thing. It can be all sorts of things. For me it is usually too short and great, at least when I'm home. Then there are those things called week days and classes that tend to drag on and seem to last forever. but there are those few occasions during the week when you find time to be short due to a certain project. It simply amazes me how time is kept in a certain universal interval. Although they claim that a minute is always a minute, and an hour is always an hour, they seem or fluctuate a great bit and the two of them often reverse roles for me. It humors me how such simple things as happiness and boredom change time so much causing the last thirty minutes of class to seem like hours and the hour or two spent saying goodbye to a loved one seem like minutes. Time can also be kept and described using certain events. Certain things go before while other things go after, such as an image of you as a child goes before an image of you as an adult. Just as the invention of the wheel goes before the car. This describes and shows the progress of time and can pin point an exact moment of time. Then there are also all these scientific ideas behind time but I'm not really familiar with them and I like to keep things simple.
