I have been in this library for 1.5 battery charges. That's how I've been keeping track of time. I came with my laptop full of battery, I had to charge it when it went to reserve power, and now it is back down to 50% power. That is way too long to be in the HBLL, if you ask me.
Another way I've been keeping time is by how many people leave/enter the library. 38 groups have entered or left. I belong with those that have left.
Also, this guy in front of me must be very uncomfortable. He keeps switching positions. He hasn't been here for more than 8 groups of people, but he has switched positions 4 times.
Now 42 groups have walked by me.
For a bigger measurement of time, I've counted how many times I've gone to the water fountain. I've gone twice. I should drink more water.
44 groups.
Very interesting ways to track the passage of time. It's interesting what we can notice if we stay in the same spot for a long period of time. I wonder what that person's rate of breath mint consumption says about them?
ReplyDeleteI love the tracking of time by the altoids! It's funny how we would probably never notice someone doing something small like that (eating altoids) until we are put in a quiet, isolated situation. The library is a great place to people watch too!
ReplyDeleteYou used altoids to keep track of time. Need I say more? It's cool to kind of use the quirkiness of everyday life as a way to keep track of time. Those aspects of life are usually overlooked, but you certainly embraced them.
ReplyDeleteI love how you chose to keep track of time by battery charges. I go through about 3 a day during school days. It really makes you think about how much time your actually wasting just sitting around on your computer. So creative, nice work!
ReplyDeleteSo when I read yours I just thought how I would never have been creative enough to come up with those ways to measure time. Good work!
ReplyDeleteThe Altoid observation is unique. Nice job.
