Clock face

due to the “rude awakening” that the summer sun caused Franklin at 6:00 am in Paris. However, it wasn’t until 1905 that the first ever campaign to move the clocks forward between April and October was promoted; The “Waste of Daylight” measure was led by Englishman William Willet. One morning on horseback, Willet had the epiphany that the clocks should be moved forward by 80 minutes so that more people would be able to enjoy the abundance of sunlight. Subsequently, Willet used majority of his…

technology is leading to an overload of man’s mind; many people focus so much on their studies that they leave one of man’s most luxurious past-times: leisure. “The root problem, he claims, is that the culture has lost the practice of leisure. On the face of it, then, Pieper appears to be worrying that people are in danger of working themselves into a workaholic frenzy and at risk of losing their weekends, vacation and rerecreation time” (No Time to Think, David Levy, pg. 66). In the culture of…

with a disgruntled groan. Unimpressed by the early morning alarm clock, he angrily pulled his pillow over his head and attempted to drown out the noise. However, the humorous fact that the sound easily penetrated through the downy feathers brought a good-natured smile to his lips, and with a resigned sigh, he threw the pillow onto the floor and sat up. From across the room, Tom yawned loudly, a sleepy smile spreading across his face. “Fucking birds.” The statement amused Booker and running…

mother shouted for the fifth time, “You’re going to be late for school again!” I slowly opened my eyes looking at the clock. Great, 7:47 a.m., I thought to myself. Hurriedly, I quickly brushed my long black hair and rimming my green eyes with black eyeliner. I grabbed my bag and headed down the stairs. “Zanna you are seventeen years old, I should not be your walking alarm clock. I have to get ready too.” Rolling my eyes at her remark and replied, “It took me ten minutes to get ready; it…

“I have tried to will myself out of bed on Mondays, but for some reason me and Mondays can’t seem to agree with each other,” McNeil said. After brushing her teeth, washing her face and grabbing a Nature Valley’s oat bar, McNeil leaves Roddey Apartment by 8:50 each Monday. Finally, crossing the street to make it onto Scholar’s Walk, there is a green and white sign McNeil sees that assures her Monday isn’t actually all that bad…

“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…

Beep! Beep! Beep! My alarm clock went off 5:00 am. I was putting my Camo hunting clothes on with my hunting jacket. I got my coffee started and got my new 243 wood grain stock with a thumb hole and a silver barrel out of the safe. My coffee was done I got one spoonful of sugar and dumped some nice warm licorice black coffee in my yeti cup. I grabbed my gun and walked out into the freezing cold morning, and started up the ranger. I set my gun in the ranger and started it up. I was letting the…

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…
