    I woke up extra early this morning, because I knew I had to hike down and get water. Once I was up, I got all my stuff ready. As usual I was one of the first people ready. Being a morning person definitely came in handy on this backpacking trip. The leaders told us the plan and we ended up hiking three miles. It was the fastest pace we’ve ever had.

Researchers partition date-books into three general classes, for example, lunar, sunlight based, and lunisolar relying on whether their worldly divisions are chiefly in view of the developments of the moon or the sun or on a trade off between both.…

    One morning in high school, I overslept my alarm. With only about ten minutes to get ready, I did the bare necessities: brushed my teeth, combed my hair, and threw on the nearest clothes I could find, slipping on my backpack to rush out the door. I didn’t have the time to put on makeup. In second period, John did a double take at me and said, “Wow, you look tired.” The irony was that I actually slept an extra hour that morning, but to him my natural under eye bags looked like exhaustion.

    Ain’t Money Douglas speaks about “The End of Time”, physical clocks are something in “the now”. “On the analog clock, each second is a portion of a minute, and each minute a portion of the day. Time is in motion. On the digital clock, time is static. A number. A now.” (Time Ain’t Money, Douglas Rushkoff, pg. 114). Rushkoff attributes this as a “timeless” factor, as if it doesn’t exist anymore because it’s now being taken over by digital clock. “This new, a-historical experience of time changes…
