Alien Overlords, Vacation, and Time

So, there are 20 minutes until I am free for 2 weeks!!!  It is summer vacation and I plan on sleeping in and doing much of nothing.  It is going to be glorious.  I just need to get through these 20 minutes.  Which might just kill me.  I keep looking at the clock and see that it hasn't even been a minute.  It isn't like I have anything special to do today but I am anticipating the vacation and my tour of Korea.  The thing is, my Korean tour isn't even happening for another week.  I will be in Yeoju and Seoul for the next week, so familiar places and faces.  I just want out!!!  (Not that I hate my job or anything but deskwarming sucks!  I would much rather be teaching or doing something stupid with the kids)

Why is it the last few minutes of anything takes forever?  The 5 minutes before you are going on your lunch break?  The last minutes in a big game against your rival team and the scores are tied and you have possession?  Waiting for the guy to kiss you?  The perception of time is a funny thing and I hate it.  I swear it might be some trick by aliens to make us suffer.  (Alien Overlords!!!)


Obviously joking but seriously the last few minutes of the day take forever to finish, when you want them to.  When you want time to slow down, it always speeds up.  For instance, when you are sleeping in your nice comfortable bed and your alarm goes off and you hit the snooze and then like a minute later bam the 5 minutes snooze alarm goes off, and you keep hitting it.  This is why I have 2 alarms and I keep hitting the snooze.  It takes me about an hour to actually get out of bed in the morning but that is a different monster.  Or when you are in a really fun class and time flies by without you realizing you were even in class.  Happened all the time with Art class in high school.  Time is a bitch!  That is the only conclusion I can come to.  Time is a bitch!

Unless of course you are the Tardis!
