12-hour clock

It’s early, you’re tired, you don’t want to get out of bed for any reason. You know you don’t have anything until 10 so why not sleep? Within a couple of minutes you work up the courage to get up stumble into the bathroom and put your contacts in without taking too long, the day is about to begin. You make your way downstairs, grab a nutrigrain bar and slowly make your way to the garage. Little bits of light start to seep in when you open the garage and a gush of frigid morning air comes in…

Mark is sleeping soundly on a Monday morning. His bedroom is completely dark, without the slightest presence of light. As the time approaches six-thirty, Mark’s alarm clock chimes. “Beep! Beep! Beep!” “Lucy.” Mark says sleepily as he wakes up. “Open the blinds.” Digital blinds dissolve into the bedroom windows, and the room is flooded with the first light of the morning sunrise. Mark’s room is now illuminated and fully visible. After lifting himself out of bed, Mark makes his way to the bathroom…

and I used to go on. No matter what, there was always the guarantee of listening to at least three Coldplay albums over the duration of the car ride. With that being said, “Clocks” is one of my all-time favorite Coldplay songs. THe lyric that always speaks to me is, “ Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks. Gonna come back and take you home, I could not stop that you now know, singing…” (Coldplay, 2002), because it exemplifies how my time with my family and friends is quickly…

The alarm screamed, waking me from a dream of a monumental journey through a land that had been long forgotten. I moaned and turned the noise off. As I pulled myself upright, a wonderful aroma entered my nose. Mom is cooking bacon. Now I have a good reason to get out of bed. I trudged to the kitchen, and I found Lola, my little sister, squealing and bouncing off the walls. She was excited for her first day of Pre-K. I miss those days. Still half-asleep, I devoured my serving of bacon as I…

and US government. Much to my surprise though, I didn't finish until almost two hours later. Wow, maybe it was more homework than I thought.. My notes were also a bit prettier than they needed to be, so that most likely didn't help. Once I finish my homework, I decide to check on the twins to see if they needed any help. I checked on Sam first, and discovered he needed help with some math. It takes me about half an hour to explain his homework to him, and help him with the problems he had left.…

electronics include, a computer/laptop, printer, an alarm clock, cell phone and a surge protector. These items are not necessary for school, but more of a want. The students can utilize the school library for all of their electronics. However, if the student had their own, then they don’t have to share or go to the library to complete assignments. Also, a cell phone is more of a convenient than a need because all public buildings have phones. The alarm clock may seem more like a need, but we…

Enclosed is my analysis of the delivery guarantee recommendations, where I will highlight and describe the results from the data collected about the delivery times on football Saturdays. Included in this report will be my analysis of the delivery times and my recommendations of whether we should offer the “30 minutes’ delivery time or it’s free” deal on football Saturdays. Wings of Fire was established because of the demand for a food delivery service and take-out restaurant around the college…

“The Death of the Moth”, by Virginia Woolf, and “The Spider and the Wasp”, by Alexander Petrunkevitch, had both similar and different ways of expressing tones. Both Woolf's and Petrunkevitch's writing styles are similar. They both use descriptive imagery and details. Some examples of this in Petrunkevitch's essay are "the exasperated spider" and "soft membrane". Another example, this time in Woolf's essay, is "hay-coloured wings, fringed with a tassel of the same colour". These descriptive…
