“Wake up,” Josie Said to me as she pulled the comforter off of my bed. “Five more minutes,” I slowly griped. “No, Gabriel, we have to get our bags packed, today's the day,” Said Josie. I sat up noticing the monumental amount of light that was pouring into my room through my window. A few minutes later, I decided that I was ready to get out of my bed. While I was getting up, I quickly realized that I wasn’t ready; I got up anyway. My bones were aching worse than a two day old flu shot, and

When I woke up that Tuesday morning in 7th grade, I thought it would be like any other day, until my head started excruciatingly pounding. Even worse, it didn’t go away. Something was wrong. Prior to this, I was a relatively healthy child. I participated in many sports; played “the floor is lava” constantly with my brothers (who doesn’t know that game?!), climbed trees in our front yard every day, and hung upside down on the monkey bars at recess all the time. I did everything any other kid would

I wake to the sound of harsh car horns and street vendors yelling at tourists to buy their “limited edition” bobble heads of our president Donald Trump VIII. What a way to wake up. Back home I was greeted with the crash of sleepy morning waves and calls of the seagulls letting me know it was morning. Carlsbad was where I grew up for the seventeen years I have been alive and planned to spend the rest of my life. That dream was crushed when Trump decided to start testing his nuclear weapons off the

Have you ever woken up in the morning to get ready for school but have the urge to go straight to bed again? Well, you’re not alone. Here’s how it all starts. The alarm rings and you lay in bed hoping it’s just a part of your dream. When you realize it’s not, you are forced to move and have to turn the horrible sound off. There are two ways you could go from here. You could either “close your eyes for a bit”, but actually end up sleeping in. Or you could get up and have to face a long school day

Atomic Clock Invented Time is an adventure that humans seem to be preoccupied in for everything from when we get up in the morning, when we go to work and when we go to bed, but if you compared all the clocks and watches of the world, there’s a new atomic clock out that is so accurate that it will only lose one tiny second in a timeframe of 15 billion years! Apple may have invented its new Apple Watch, but this new optical lattice clock, or it is also being called the strontium atomic clock, will

The song begins with multiple clocks chiming. The chimes were incorporated into the song to act as a wake up call, some people can take the song acting as something like an alarm.

In the first stanza of the lyrics it quotes, “Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day, fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Kicking

The recurring image of turning gears and clocks in the film is noteworthy.The constant ticking of the clocks, present throughout the movie, gives the viewer a very vivid awareness of time passing.Like the drunken Uncle Claude tells Hugo, “Time is everything.” This is effectively portrayed by the plight of Georges Melies (Ben

I was sitting in my first-hour waiting watching the clock tick slowly. I had already finished my work so I was just sitting quietly staring at the clock. The bell rang as we all went to our lockers, then our next class. In the second hour my phone went off while I was trying to listen to music, my friend messaged me but I ignored it.

I thought he told me the flight was at 11 am., why are we getting ready at five o’ clock? I took a quick shower and dressed for the Spring weather outside, carrying an extra coat for the blistering cold of Russia. I double-checked my room for anything I would need such as a toothbrush or shampoo bottle. “Put that back, Allen. The airport
