passing of time.

the old saying "time flies when you're having fun" holds alot of truth for me. i often find that time does go by very fast when i'm doing somthing that takes up all my attention i pay very little attention to time and the next time i look up it's hours later.

a prime example of this is when i am at the lake where my grandparents live in the summer. when i'm there i totally lose track of what day it is and what time. the days pass in a blur of swimming, sailing, etc before i know it te summer is past and it is back ot the set and clock regulated life of school. i wrote a short story about how much time in my life has been devoted to time at the lake and it always seems like not enough.

we percieve the passage of time in different ways depending on our environment and how we track time. also there is almost always some discrepency in clocks in different places. this affects how we know where we are supposed to be an when. my old highschool recently fixed the spazzing clocks so now people will have to pay more attention instead of depending on not being late to class because the clock on the other side of the building was earlier.

overall time is a matter of point of view. different people follow time in different manners . some are strictly by the clock, some are more laid back. it's a pretty fluid thing.
