Theory of variable time flux

My theory is, that the amount of slacktime you have defines the number of things you can do to let it pass...

The more time you have, the less things you can do. Conversely, the less time you have, the more things you HAVE to do. The human socio-verse's concept of time management revolves arounf this time. Projects (usually rush) are due right after an extremely short vacation. Classes (usually boring) take looooong periods to reach finality.

Don't believe me? During blackouts, most of your time you are facing into the cieling for hours... but only minutes passed by. And in my part of the pueblo, blackouts last from 9-5.

Long quizzes that last for one hour feels like one minute long. When I go to an internet shop, one hour of surfing costs P20... I can only afford up to 1 1/2 hours. I chuck up the P30 and leave feeling I've only surfed for half an hour.

Time is a cruel mistress. This semester is full of time-to-activity fluxes. Most of the time, I've got nothing to do for 7 hours max between meetings everyday. If profs give assignments, the timeframe is one day for work that needs at least a week.

That theory also goes for sleeping. The eve of an important day is long sleepless night. The eve of a boring day is a short peaceful nap.

And it goes for eating too! An awful meal takes ages to chew and is in prodiguous amounts. A great meal is a saucer big and takes seconds to gulp down.

Alas, it's an unescapable fact we have to live by. A cornucopia of paradoxes in time we have to weather day in day out.
