Alarm clock

statuses are posted on Facebook to express one’s dislike for Mondays. By setting several alarms, drinking tons of coffee and exercising before they start their busy workweek, many students and workers pull themselves out of bed on Mondays cursing that the day arrived so soon. Every Monday, 21-year old exercise major Nyisha McNeil said she snoozes her alarm at least three times. By 8:35 a.m. the third alarm is snoozed and grumpily she wipes the crust out of her eyes, sits up, curses the…

“Alright! Everyone, front and center!!” I groaned at the thought of having to actually get up. My bedroll was so warm, and the outside world was so cold and unforgiving. Why couldn’t I just sleep a few more minutes? “Varria!” The quartermaster yelled, “Get your ass in gear!” I groaned again but finally managed to get up and clear my eyesight enough to get a better view of the place I’d gotten so used to call home. In truth the building that the humans had set up for people like me was…

oats and some juice. Then the T.S.A agents scanned our boarding passes and we went on the plane. In thirty minutes we were up in the air. When I looked out the window in the plane, it is like I can see the sky hitting the ground. At around eight o clock we came off the plane, got our bags, and we got our rental car and went to the Nickelodeon hotel. When we arrived at the hotel and it looks breathtaking. I couldn’t wait to see everything that the hotel had to offer. We went in the room, and my…

April 22nd, 2014, it was supposed to be like any other day for James. Wake up, eat breakfast, go to his job, return home to his family, sleep, rinse and repeat. It was like this for the longest time, day after day the same process; however, today would be different. James woke up, munched on donuts with coffee, and arrived to work with just a few minutes to spare despite needing to attend an early meeting. He was unable to remember; it seemed to be a trend lately and the boss certainly was not…

When we came back from Winter Break, the clock in Mrs. Allen's room was a few hours behind. It had tricked her into believing that instead of being the last hour of the day, it was actually around lunchtime. Now that the clock is fixed—well, partially fixed, still being an hour behind—, it is now working properly again. A pacemaker is very similar to this. Think of the heart as the clock and the pacemaker as the remedy that fixes the clock. Like the clock still being an hour behind, the…

The sun was just starting to rise and my alarm starting going off. I got out of bed completely forgetting what day it was. All of the sudden, I got a burst of energy and started to rush. I had to rush to get ready as I only had 20 minutes until I had to leave for the barn. It was horse show day. My mom was up and just started watching the news while I was in my room getting ready and getting a bag packed. There was a noxious feeling in my stomach as if I were forgetting something, but I didn’t…

and Industrial Capitalism were both written with obstacles of time-work discipline in mind. In Landes’ work, he focuses on the historical motives and origins of clock creation to support his claims and explains that “The clock did not create an interest in time measurement; the interest in time measurement led to the invention of the clock.” But the reader is left wondering, “Where did this demand [for timekeeping] come from” (Landes 58), which in turn led to the creation of a time-work…

Purpose: Measuring ‘g’ by dropping steel ball and Ping-Pong ball from the same height and record the time for each dropping. Then, using the equation “h=1/2g*t^2 to calculate ‘g’. For precise, we still need to find ∆g, therefore, the final data about g=gave+∆g. Method: Before we start to do the experiment, we need to find a position which can except the wind and flat ground. After that, two people as a group, one is a golfer, and another is a dropper. First, they measured use tape measure to…
