Time and I go way back. There
was that one moment where I was late to my first class in high school. I just
missed him by a few minutes. There was also the moment when Time forgot my
birthday in 6th grade; talk about a 80s movie flashback. It seems that no
matter where we are, we miss each other by a hair. It’s just a hair, but that's
still enough to shift our relationship out of balance. Even when I'm with Time
I just end up losing track of him. Just like any other man, Time, is hard to
manage.
Sometimes, when we’re hitting a
rough spot, I think we should see a professional. There are days where I know
we can work this out and then there are days when I just want to let him go.
The latter, is usually when we’re trying to do a duet in music. He just can’t
get those dotted rhythm and don’t get me started on when the song changes time.
It’s as if the note values don’t mean anything to him. I always feel
embarrassed when people ask us to play together, but it’s not like I can leave
him behind. When we start playing music we decided we would play together,
always. Hopefully going to the same college will help him improve.
Another burden I have to deal
with is that Time likes to sleep in. He’ll even turn the snooze button on
several times before he gets up in the morning. It drives me insane because
than I’ll wake up late and miss breakfast. We enjoy taking naps
occasionally before class in the afternoon, but every time we do he’ll turn off
the alarm so we’ll miss the first few minutes of class. If it wasn’t for me, we
would never get to class at all.
Although Time has his
weaknesses he does do well with certain things. For example, he and I never
really liked Facebook. We get on to see some old friends, but other than that
we never get on. He still doesn’t really know how to use it. He can also juggle
family and homework fairly well towards the beginning of the year, but towards
the end is when he starts to have meltdowns. There’s really not much I can do
to help. I’ll try and write down everything that needs to be done and
he’ll get around to it… eventually.
Do I have any advice on Time? Hmm well, I’d
focus on his cousins Present and Future. Honestly, just forget about Past. All
he ever does is ponder on what has happened in his life. A big waste if you ask
me. Yes, Present and Future, they seem the most reliable.
This is witty, Alex. I like the conceit, and it's fun to read while still addressing the requirements of the assignment. There's one giant issue, though--it's super late. If you check your syllabus, there's a very strict outline of grades re. timeliness of blog postings. There's a reason for this: unlike regular turn-it-in written assignments, anything posted to the internet is incredibly time-sensitive, because info on the net changes constantly. So I'm afraid your grade will take a pretty giant hit here. (I'll email out specific grades soon).
ReplyDeleteOh, and yes, I'm aware of the irony of your Time Management Post being posted rather late in Time..... :-)
